“Of moving accidents by flood and field," the annals of 1883 could be already writtaa ia red. Comes now the death of hundreds ia the German ocean, and at the Bams time the death of teas away round the other aide of the world in California.

Thb democracy's sudden accession of favor for the legislative appointment of trustees for the benevolent institutions, remind one of the stories of the boarder kt a Montana miming hotel. “I wish you wouldn't put any more liver on my end of the table,” said ho to the landlord. “I hate the stuff.” “Well, I'll put you where you can’t ass it.” A few days after his •oat waa changed to the head of the table. “Pans that liver here," said he to hia neighbor. “I thought yon hated it,” suggested the landlord. “Well, I did, at the other •ad of the table.” The democracy abotul Mated legislative electiom of trustees “at the other end of the table." It doesn’t mow. Thrrr Is a never ending debate going •a about legislation touching gravel roads mad the purchase of pikes by counties to amke them free, and a correspondent makan a suggestion on the latter point that deoarres serious ooasi deration. Why nhould any county purchase a toll road •md maka it free? Those who never use It onght not to bo taxed to make it free to to those who benefit by it. While it is a toll rood thorn who — it pay for it, m they onght When it is free thousands of tax payers who asver see it aad eould not feel! wham Mia, pay as mnek for it—in the •ggrtgafoton times as much—as those who got the aofo goad of k.

Of the deaths in Nashville last month the proportion was about 18 per thousand of white aad 41 per thousand of colored. It ia estimated that Britiah shipping sane $300,000,000 per year aad gives employment to 300,000 sailors. The net ananal profit to Britiah ship owears is estimated at $50,000,000, aad that all the na. tloas of the earth pay England for the ocean carrying done by her a toll equal to 4 per cent of the export value of the pro. ducte and manufacture* of the world. The Chicago Timae thinks Cullom in David Davis'! seat as senator will be ns oa* small seed in a mammoth gourd. In five yean there have boom 2,400 divorcee granted in the state of Maine, a ratio of about one to every ten marralges. In many iastenoos the cause for divorce was drunkenness. The Philadelphia Record says “The opposition to the civil service reform bill ia Ohio and Indiana may be regarded as merely tactical. Some democratic politicians oppose the bill because it is Pendleton’s, and they are jealous of the prestige ho might acquire aa its advocate." That will be a very good way out of it, “Tactical" Is a good word. The Indiana democratic “leaden" will be explaining ia 1884 that their opposition was “taotieal" aad the average Hoosier democrat will think that mesas more offices. The New York World classifies the importations into this country thus: L Raw materials ornw products. 2. Manufactured articles. Half-manufactured artlclea. *. Article* of food or drink, and tobacco. These acain are to besuVdlvlded into necessities and

luxuries.

And it sensibly eaye that a manufacturing oonntry should levy little or no duty on the raw materials for maaufaeturen and on half-made articles, and as little as possible on the articles ef food and drink which are necessities for the people. In India the pest of the poor natives is snakes and wild animals. In 1681 ao less than 18,670 persona were known to be killed by snakes and 3,750 by wild ani-. male, while A3,609 head of cattle were likewise destroyed. As an offset 254,0681 snakes and 15,274 animals were destroyed * at a cost to the Britiah government of f

$100,000.

The Tennessee legislature ia wrestling

with a “toy pistol” law.

The coal companies decided on Saturday to suspend mining for three days in every week so as to reduce the supply, and the president of one ia reported as saying that they may continue to work oa half time for three or four months. This means that the coal monopoly will condemn its poor miners to remain idle one half their time and to support their families upoa one-half the usual miserable pittance in order that the community may be forced to pay‘ artificially high prices for the commodity.

As to civil service reform the democratic party now says by its coadnot that its “materialisation” was a piece of pure cheating: and herein it will be taken at its

As General Grant grows older his record grows darker. In war he won battles, but he sacrificed life. As president he interposed his veto against greenback inflation and extravagant pensions. And now ia his capacity as a private citizen he is guiltv of the heinous offense of wishing to bring cheap sugar into the country from Mexico. What a pity it is that we oaa not recur to the old Athenian method of killing or banishing our auoeeasful warriors aad capable statesmen.

The accident on the Southern Pacific road near Tehauchapa, of which mention was made in Saturday’s News, was a terrible affair. The Unin find stopped at the summit of the grade, to out loose an extra engine, when the eight can started down grade at a frightful speed, niaaing about four miles, when the hindormost sleeper lumped the track and went over an embankment about fifteen feet high, carrying with it the other sleeper, mail, baggage and express can, which were piled In a shattered heap, took fire, and then contained. The day coach end smoker kept oa down the grade, aad were stopped without leaving the track about two miles further on. AD on board were injured.

The number ef visitor! from the ohief cities ef the Halted States will be lane, to judge by the numerous application far main toe first-elans hotels. Many New

Yorkers with their families have assured soeommodstion, end the ian-koepets are now leering privets hennas lor such guests as were not early ia the field for rooms. Th* carnival has excited greet enthusiasm hare, aad ia under the auipiees of the most influential citizens, who have taken a deal of troubia ae as to make all ton arrange manta as perfect as possible. The mayor and city council have given the proceedings their patronage end active support, besides declaring the 24th a civil holiday. A large fond has been subscribed by the citissao to meet the expenses, sad aU the amusements will be entirely free to

visitors end the public generally. Hie ioe palace, which has just received

the finishing stroke, will be one of the most unique features of the many novel sights. It occupies e site in Dominion square in the very heart of the city, oa a commanding eminence, and will be toe rallying point for the pastimes forth# week. Inis building is expected to solve interesting problems as to ths bearing strength ol blocks of ice aad their compreeeibility under strong pressure. The extent of toe structure is about 100 feet square with towers fifteen feet each way aad thirty feet high at eaeh angle, the connection between the latter being walla twenty-five feet high. From the oenter of the building has nsea a tower over 100 feet high and thirty-two feet square. The blocks of ioe used ia toe building were cut in the St Lawrence and are ai clear as crystal. In sics they average forty laches in length, twenty inches in breadth, and from fourteen to twenty inches ia depth. They were plied on each other by means of derricks, water being thrown upon them from the city mains, which instantly is congealed under toe influence of the low temperature, leaving a solid mass apparently ne strong and durable as marble. It is even more beautiful than the latter under the sparkling brilliancy of the noonday sun. The architect has taken scientific observation from the start to measure the changes, if say, in the dimensions. So far there has been no variation detected, and the grestest confidence Is felt in the stability of the structure. It has beau noticed by observers how readily aad quickly the various pieces of ioe became frozen together under pressure, and without even the assistance of water. An eminent author remarks in the press that “this revelation explains the curious accommodation of glaciers to the chanpels through which they pasApreaenting a striking similarity in their effects to the viscidity of liquids." The quantity of ioe required for the building was between forty and fifty thousand cubic feet. The whole structure—the towers as well as the main building,has been roofod>ith cedar boughs saturated with water. The facade is adorned with statues sculptured out of ice by a local artist Oa each side of the main entrance ia an arctic hnt built of ice also. The interior as well aa the exterior of the palace will be illuminated with the electric light aad will present aa curious a sight at night as by day. Some two hundred men nave been engaged in cutting ioe and laying the blocks for some weeks past material aid having been given by the leading contractors of toedtyin order to get the work finished in good time. The result achieved has fairly astonished every one, and gives au earnest of what will be accomplished hereafter at future carnivals, when still more , pretentious and elaborate buildings will be

attempted.

The program of winter sporta is as follow!: Tuesday, January 23, inauguration of the ice palace, Dominion square; inauguration of the eew tobogganing hill uader the direction of the Montreal Tobogganing club. Wednesday, 24, civic holiday; morning, curling bowsptel; afternoon, sleigh pareoe, snow-shoe steeple chisee; evening, enow-ehoe torchlight procession members of forty snow-shoe clubs, unday, January 25, oontinuation of curling bowspiel; afternoon trotting and other races on the River St. Lawrence; evening, fancy-dress carnival, Victoria rink. Friday, January 26, afternoon, skating races and game# on the St. Lawrence and horse racing on the new track on the river; evening, ball at the Windsor hotel; snow-shoe clubs’ concert at Queen’s hall. Saturday, January 27, afternoon, meet of the Montreal Tandem clnb, snow-shoe races on la orosse grounds, excursions on the railway scroMthe St. Lawrence, a la crosse match on skates | ~ 53 3 All the club-rooms of the city wiiibe thrown open to visitors during the week. The torchlight procession will probably be toe most umpiring and grotesque feature of the week's revelry. It comprises some 2,000 members of snow-shoe clubs belonging to the city and vicinity. The members will be equipped in their national costume, and will present a fine sight. The ball will outshine anything ever saen in Canada before. The weather, of coarse, will be an important element in the suecere of the out-door sports. Little apprehension, however, of a change is felt, as the time selected for toe carnival has been specially chosen as the best and most set-

tled of the winter.

The New Process of Making Iron.

(Pittsburg sptclal.1

The new process of making iron direct from the ore, called the Adami process, is in full operation at toe Edgar Thompson Steel works, and at the Gleawooi iron mill. The experiment, which has been watched with much interest, is considered to be successful in all respects. A leading iron manufacturer said, the other day, that the great difficulty confronting the Adams process was the possibility of making good Iron as cheaply aa by the old process of smelting and puddling. In refntation of the statement, a gentleman familiar with

of the country.
