ANOTHER REPORT.
Quebec, Oct. 1.-THE explosion this
afternoon did consid rable damage to the
windows in The vicinity Of the parliament
house. Almost all the windows in the
house itself in the section where the ex-
plosion occurred, are shattered. Mer-
tel, workman, and Chsrleboys,
the contractor, were the only per-
sons injured and those only slightly.
The damage by the first explosion is con-
siderable. A hole about twelve feet long
by FIVE feet wide was blown out Of the wall
Of the third story directly over the
right hand entrance to the assembly oh an
Der aud near the place where the speakers
chair is situated. The second explosion
occurred In the northeast corner of the
same building. The corner stone forming
the support of the building is badly bulaed
and il is doubtful If 1t can be repaired with
out letting down the whole wall. What
ever the reason may be for wishing the de-
struction of the building there is no room

the echo. As a proof of the hold he had
obtained over the sympathies Of his hearers, it
was noticed when he rose from his kneel-
ing posture that he had split one leg Of his
black trousers clear across the knee, yet mo-
body laughed. At the-end Of the performance
Of the day the usual announcement of the prizes
were made. 'CaIl M. Desmets," said the presi-
dent, Ambrose Thomas, in that full, clear voice
that he preserves unbroken despite his advanced
age. NJ. Desmets entered, pale and ~ag1tated.
I'M Desmets, the jury has awarded to you a
first prize. Then it would have been comical had
it not been so very touching-the great
strong fellow actually broke down and burst out
crying, covering his face with his hands like a
chidden child. He is very poor, | have heard
very, very poor. One had only to look at the
shabby suit, neat and well-preseryed, it is true,
but still of the cheapest material, that he was
forced to wear on SO public and momentous an
occasion, to have full proof of that fact And
this first prize meant so much to him, more even
than perhaps he imagined at the moment, for he
has since been engaged at the Grand Opera
and will make his debut as "Mephistopheles,"
early in the autumn.

a Slight sMlstake.

Boston Budget
The wife of Senator Soule told a very good
story as happening to herself during the last
winter of the Fillmore administration At one
of the crowded parties a gentleman was intro
duced to her who did not catch her name in the
introduction. In passing through the room they
met Mr.. Soule. The gentlaman said he believed
that was Mr.. Soule, senator from Louisiana.
Mrs. Soule said she believed it was. The gen
tleman then inquired if she knew Mrs. Souie, to
which inquiry she answered in the affirmative.
He further asked what sort Of a looking lady
she was. He said she could not be handsome, or
Mr.. Soule would bring her with him to Wash
ington. Without waiting for a description OF
Mrs. Soule, the gentleman commenced telling
that Mr.. Soule was a great favorite with the
ladies in Washington; that the other day he
noticed a shower of bouquets thrown on him
from the gallery of the senate by the ladies,
after concluding his great speech on Cuban af-
fairs. This rather excited Mrs. Soule5s jealousy,
and she replied that in New Orleans ladies re-
ceived bouquets, but never gave them. About
this stage of the conversation some one came up
and said: How do you do, Mrs. Soulel l am
very happy to meet you this evening The gem
tleman discovered his mistake, and laughed
himself out of it.

WHAT IS DEATH.
A Problem tina Rev. Joseph Cook Cannot

New York Graphic.
The Rev. Joseph Cook is heard from again this
time in Montreal, among the scientist gravely
propounding his query, Does death end allF'
and betraying that with the rest of us he really
knows very little about it. Death is common,
yet so unfathomable. It is in the literature of

paint it, sculptors depict it; wise men discuss it,
and the foolish speak of it glibly, yet what is it,

the mystery of even the first hour of death! We

that when he subsequently, went to the club that

did ask two other guests. He had been very

Lucy H00perB Paris Letter.
An American lady who was present at the re-
cent competition Of the opera classes at the Con
seryatoire, told me of a touching little scene that
took place on that occasion. Amongst the com.
petitors for o prize was a young man called Des-
mets, who possesses a fine basso voice and a con.
siderable degree Of dramatic talent; he is, more
over, a tall, stalwart, fnelooking fellow, and will
produce Q good effect upon the boards. He had
chosen the scene from Faust where Mephisto-

that are held before him, and though the scene
was given with the performers in the black coats

Electric Jokes.
Iadelphia E-xposit,op.

Report Of Philadelphia Exposition.
Some Of the exhibitors have been unable to re-
sist the temptation Of playing mild practical
Jokes on their visitors. The Standard Electric
Company, of Cincinnati, caused some laughter
yesterday, by a harmless little jest of this kind.
In the right hand corner of the space allotted for
this exhibit is a tiny table, supporting an appar
emily interesting instrument, which rises and
falls as the current is supplied. Several specta-
tors were grouped together watching its mo-
tions, When one, a trifie more eager than the
rest, pressed forward and placed his hands on
the ornamental railing which surrounds the
platform. The clerk in charge Of the exhibit
stepped back, as il TO pick up some pamphlets,
when. with a sudden cry Of anguish, the impuls
i've searcher after knowledge sprang back and
held up his hands in alarm. as though they had
been stung. And SO, indeed. they had been. He
had received q severe electric shock from a vol
taic battery, whose current the clerk had turned
on when he stepped back The Thomson-Hou
con Company has an amusing apparatus in the
form Of q very powerful electro-magnet The
attendant hands a few steel nails to one OF the
visitors, telling him to stand back a pace or two.

DEATHS FROM STARVATION.
A Possibility to Result in the Increase of
American Population.


American Population.
Philadelphia Record.
The story Of the recent death. near Xenia. o..
of Frank Waltzman, from starvation as real as
that from which the majority Of the Greedy party
persisted, will at least serve to convince those
who believe that no Woodworking man can
Abeve in America that such a thing is possible.
Investigation might probably reveal the fact
that many deaths occur from this cause. Waltz
man shoveled gravel until he could not stand,
was brought home in a wagon, and died. Fifty
cents would probably have saved him, perhaps
to again work himself up to a comfortable liveli-
hood. Not every individual who dies of starva-
ton dies so tragically. Most drop off upper
ceived. The starvation may not be quite so evil
dent, though quite as actual. The person who
for months works upon insufficient food, and
finally dies of some symptom brought on by
that insufficient food, dies of starvation as truly
as the man who eats nothing at all for a week or
two.
There are some pecularities of American life
which indicate that when crowding has taken
place to the same extent as in Europe the life of
the poor will, unless some change takes place in
other directions, be harder here than elsewhere.
Men work more among machinery in this than in
any other country. Machinery is used in trades
which in Europe are still handicrafts. There is
no denying that a machine is a bad intermediary
between employer and employed. The measure
of the machine is all the employer gets-not
that of the individual men. Men are employed
and dismissed en- masse, like goods. The able
man has little chance to show his ability; the
reliable man little show to prove his reliability.
Less respect is shown to sterling qualities, and
little attempt is made TO retain a good man
rather than risk his loss. On the workman's
side. also, there is more love of change and less
anxiety to stay where well-treated. 1t is at
present. easier to get employment here than
it is in Europe; but it is harder to keep that EN-
ployment.
