The Archdeacon's Reception In
Montreal.
Montreal Gazette, September 18Th.

The Archdeacon's Reception In
Montreal Gazette, September 18th.
If Archdeacon Farraris lecture on
Dante last evening was worthy Of that
llustrious churchman's reputation, it was
no less creditable to the literary taste of
the people of Montreal. Long before
the hour appointed, both the body and
gallery of the Queens Hall we're filled
with an expectant audience, such as is
rarely brought together by public
event of whatever moment. Shortly
after o'clock the rear door opened and,
amid enthusiastic applause, Archdeacon
Farrar, accompanied by his host, Mr.. f.
Wolferstan Thomas, Archdeacon Vesey,
Bishop Bond, the Rev. Dean Carmichael,
Sir William Dawson, the Hon. Justice
Torrance, DR.. II. p Howard and Messrs.
Hugh McLennam, g. .Drummond, AT.
Gault, G. Smithers and George Hague,
came upon the platform. His lordship
the bishop, who presided, introduced the
lecturer in a few earnest, suitable
words, referring to the dis
tinguished services that he had rem
dered to literature, to religion, and,
for which he especially honored him, to
temperance. Achdeacon Farrar then
stood up, and, in the midst of renewed
and prolonged applause, announced the
| subject of his lecture. The very name
of Dante, he said, gave promise Of the
fame that awaited him. For in its orig
inal form, Durante, It implied perma-
hence, while the family name of Alighieri,
meaning wing bearing, had marked sig
nificance when borne by such a man.
Comparing Dante with other poets, he
knew of none, not even Milton, whom he
would set above him. His great allegory
was, in remarkable way, the outcome of
his own individuality aud experience, and
this truth DR.. Farrar brought out very
strikingly by asketch of thepoet's career.
At the close of the lecture the Rev. DR..
Stevenson rendered to the Archdeacon
the warm thanks of the audience for the
learned, profound, eloquent and highly
interesting lecture which they had just
heard. In thanking Archdeacon Farrar
he extended to him the welcome of the
citizens to one so eminent on this the o.
casion of his visit. "We," said DIR. Ste
venson, shave read his books, and they
have guided and strengthened us in our
battle of life. There are few men in the
mother country who would be so heartily
welcome among us as Archdeacon Farrar."
Applause.
Sir William Dawson endorsed the re-
marks of the Rev. DIR. Stevenson, and, in
seconding the motion, cordially Joined in
the welcome TO Archdeacon Farrar.
The lecturer, in response, thanked the
people of CANADA for the exuberant kind
ness and princely generosity which had
been extended to him since he landed in
Canada. He was again loudly applauded
before the audience dispersed.

We have alluded to the choapness at
which small hardware can be purchased
but We might have added word about
the value some attach to their wares. An
instance of this is found in the handles
with small "tools,' so called, inside of
them. The handle is worth about five
cents at the most, and the alleged tools
are bits of steel wire, about two inches
long, flattened for chisels, screw drivers
and bradawls. A big price for these
would be three cents per dozen, the
actual cost to the maker Of the tool being
about 10 cents. 1t sells for 81.

PORTLAND, OREGON, Sept. Pa large
china firm in this city has received dis
patch from Lewiston, Idaho, stating that
agents have been sent over to Pierce City
to investigate the reported hanging of the
five Cinnamon there. II is said one of
the men hanged was wealthy Chinese
merchant named Govenam, who had just
closed his business and was about to re-
turn to China. The Chinese firms here
are troubled about the late outrages at
Rock Springs, Coal Greek and Pierce City
on their countrymen, and evidently fear
that they may be repeated ON larger
scale at San Francisco.

The Librarian Of Congress-.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader says Ainsworth II.
Spoford is the grentest librarian of the
United States, and doubt whether he has
his equal IN the world. He knows to a
pamphlet the hundreds of thousands Of
publications contained in the National
Library and he can tell you at u moments
notice everything published on any sub
ject of which you wish to know. He is in
valuable to the representative and the
senator who wishes to get up q great
speech embodying many figures and pro
found reasoning, and l doubt not many
of the brightest illusions Of the Con
gressiondl Record come from his inspira-
ton. He is also a great friend of the
student and litterateur, and he has helped
many q struggling brain to prominence.
He is curious looking man. As dark as
Spaniard, he hns black hair and
whiskers, mixed with gray. His eyes are
like jet, and with his short, 1.-the, wiry
frame, every atom of which is muscle,
he is the busiest man in the capitol
building. His work is thoroughly sys-
tematized, too, and he uses the shorthand
man ndmessengerto help him in his many
duties. He can dictate as well as most
men can write, and his ordinary CONVEX
sation, which is usually slow and meas.
ured, would not look bad in print. He
is now 60 years old, and is New Hamp-
shire man by birth. He had n classical
education and had been employed in
publishing and editing before lie took
his present position as librarian
of Congress, now 20 years ago. Mr..
Spotord is a voluminous writer, and You
will find many articles from his pen in
some of the leading encyclopedias of the
day. Since he has been librarian tn,
library has grown from 10000 to nearl
SOC, 900 books, and he has kept pace witt
it all. But he has had no space in whicl
to make proper arrangement of such {
mass, and the loss of him before the new
national library is completed would be
national calamity. Mr.. Spofford ha
many friendships with the leading mel
of the nation. George Bancroft and h,
are great cronies, and they may be oftei
seen starting off for long horseback ride
together. Senator Hoar and he are alst
very intimate, AZ Ben: Perley Poore an,
the gray-haired librarian are often seel
together.

From the oriels one by one
Slowly fades the setting sun;
On the marge Of afternoon
Stands the newborn crescent moon.
In the twilight's crimson glow
Dim the quiet alcoves grow.
Drowsy-lidded Silence smiles
On the long deserted aisles;
Out Of every shadowy nook
Spirit faces seem to look.
Some with smiling eyes, and some
With a sad entreaty dumb;
He who shepherded his sheep
On the wild Sicilian steep,
He above whose grave are set
Sprays Of Roman violet;
Poets, sages-all who wrought
In the crucible of thought,
Day by day as seasons glide
On the great eternal tide,
Noiselessly they gather thus
In the twilight beauteous,
Hold communion each with each.

Till within the east are born
Premonitions Of the morn

gentleman, with head like that Of Napoleon

I was chatting with him the other day about
the peculiarities of men with whom he had
come in contact in the army. when he told
me Of characteristic reply Of Grant to
Meade, under the guns OF Petersburg.
Meade was always getting scare. He came
to Grant one day, with piece of paper IN his
hand. on which he had traced number Of
lines 10 represent the opposing forces.
General, "he said to Grant, "the enemy are
pressing US mighty hard right here" and he
pointed to one of his imaginary lines Of bat
tie. There is great danger that he NAV
press US too far" Grant smoked away at
his cigar and scarcely looked at the diagram.
Finally Meade said with some impatie nee,
what shall be done?" The stolid face of
Grant scarcely moved as he took out his cigar
and with a movement of one forefnger
against his other hand that comprehended all
Of Meade's diagrams and figures. remarked
quietly. press him over there" He had Sc
lected with his motion the weakest spot in
the Confederate line, where movement would
necessitate a backward movement on the part
Of their forces that were pressing Meade.
The latter had thought only of bringing up
reinforcements, and had never dreamed Of
obviating his difficulties by a counter move.

An extraordinary and grotesque state of

one of the courts here yesterday by Louis
Stewart for divorce. The complainant
alleges that his wife is of a most misery and
deceitful disposition, and has a violent and
uDgovernable temper, but the fault which
occasions him the most annoyance is her
picking up in the street old nails and bits OF
old iron, which she carries home and locks
up in her trunk. He also asserts that abe

house with them. He alleges that she per.

as to her real character and disposition
