Macdonald, the father of the l Canadian Confederation, died at a quarterpast ten o'clock the other night at Ottawa, d Canada, just seven days after ho was striken ? speechless by a hemorrhage of the brain, g without regaining consciousness. For five days he lay in a semi-conscious condition, able to move only the left ' hand, by means of which he signalled his ' wants to those about him. cr It was known by the physicians ' from the first that he was beyond human aid, and the coming of j death was momentarily awaited, yet with j * ,A L1 ? ] tbe maoomaoie courage nmvui,u>>iw..u...?. . him in life he fought against approaching 1 dissolution. His endurance was a marvel to the doctors, i and the bulletins which told of his condition l from hour to hour are matters ot an inter- ] esting historv. 1 It was more than a quarter of an hour af- , ter he died that tbe announcement was m?de | public. The tolling of the bell upon the City j Hall tower conveyed the sorrowful tidings j of the nation's bereavement, and ere a score of strokes had sounded the populace was , thoroughly aroused. . At every street corner crowds were con- : gregated and men talked in anxious whispers of what would happen now that the leader was no more. < 1 Sketch of His Career. ' Sir John Alexander Macdonald, G. C. K. C. B., D. C. L., LL. D., Premier of tho Government of the Dominion of Canada, was born in Glasgow, Scotland, on June 11, ' 1815. When he was about five years old his ' parents emigrated to Canada, aad settled at 1 Kingston, Ontario After a short residence thera the family moved to Pictou, a town ] further west, leaving John Alexander, then I in his teens, at Kingston, to attend the Royal I Grammar School. There hi received his ed- i ucation. He was diligent at his studies, and ! was admitted to the bar at the age of twenty- i one. He immediately opened an office in Kingston and followed his profession with success for about five years before he began to turn his attention to politics. He was retained in all the important cases brought in- ' to the courts in that part of the country. i Shortly after the Canadian rebellion he < i successfully defended a banl of 500 rebels ; who had attacked the Kingston garrison. It was while practising in Kingston that he ( won the distinction of being the greatest ; constitutional lawyer in Canada, a distinc- i tion which was his to the last. In 1841 he first entered politics, and in 1844 was elected ( member of Parliament. For many years he Kingston as a Conservative. He was appointed a member of the Executive Council and Receiver-General in May, IS47, and at the end of the same year he held the office of Commissioner of Crown Lands. For the next ten or fifteen years he was returned to Parliament. \ In July, I860, Mr. Macdonald was appointed Minister of Militia for the second time, which office he held, together with that of Attorney-General of Upper Canada, until the confederation of the Canadian provinces as the Dominion of Canada. Mr. Macdonald was chiefly instrumental in bringing about confederation of the provinces of British North America. He was Chairman of the Colonial Conference in London, England, 1S66-67, when the British North American act was passel by the English Hnnse of Commons on Julv 1. 1867. Mr. Macdonald was called upon to form the first Government for the new Dominion, and was sworn in by the English Privy Council, and appointed Attorney-General and Minister of Justicaof Canada, an office which he continued to hold until he and his Ministry resigned on the Canadian Pacific Railway scandal in November, 1873. In 1871 Mi*. Macdonald was one of het Majesty's joint high Commissioners and Plenipotentiaries to act in connection with the Commissioners appointed by the President of the United States for the settlement of the Alabama claim?, resulting in ths treaty of Washington in Slay, 1871. In 1865 Mr. Macdonald received the honorary degree of D. C. L. from the University of Oxford, and in 1S!J7 he was made a K. C. B. In 1872 he was made a knight of the Grand Cross of the Royal Order of Isabel the Catholic of Spain. Onu of his latest honors was that of G. C ft. This title descends to his son. Sir John Macdonald's legislative record i3 < lone and mostly creditable. ( He has often been called Canada's greatest politician, and he doubtless merited the name. He was bold, ambitious, and auda- j cious in his policy. He was a Lorn wire poller and was unmatched as an electioneering lagent. He was not overscrupulous as to the J h? cn lnn? an tViorr 1i?I ? victory. His career was dominated by a desire to give Canada an independent policy, ana to promote the imperial interests of I Great and Greater Britain, so long as the * Eursuit of these objects did not jeopardize is chances of success, for his main object < was to always remain in office. i Sir John was ready in public speech. He had an open, cordial manner, a wide range , of information, and an amazing memory for , faces. No one ever accused him of economy < in his private or public life. Sir John lived at Earnscliff?, in Ottawa, where his short, bent form, and Disraeli-like face wero well known to everv one. J " 1 ITATA SDEEENDEEED, !

She sur- ( rendered to them all the arms she took on c board off San Diego, Cal. These consist of f 5000 rifle?. t The United States cruiser Charleston arrived there on the day of the surrender. A f dispatch from Washington says: Secretary 0 Tracy has just received information of the I arrival of the ltata at Tocapilla. While o nothing definite can be learned as to the sur- s render of the ltata. the demeanor of Secretary Tracy indicates that he is satisfied with t ine situation. There can be little doubt that the Navy Department has received some ? assurance of the surrender of th?> Itata, but * the officials there will uot say so. Still, J| it can t>e stated that Admiral McCann is ex- ' pected to send the Itata back to the United States, probably under convoy of 0110 of i his cruisers, as soon as she can coal and pre- ii pare for the trip. She will be delivers 1 to the r UDited States court officers at San Diego, n the proceedings against her for violation v of the neutrality laws will be resumed at the point where they were interrupted by hor unlawful departure, and the responsible parties will, if they appear, also be called upon to answer the additional charge of contempt I of court in running away while under in- p junction. c ____ o t Sir Georok Stkphev, of Montreal, has 1 .been created a peer by the Queen.

A dispatch from Port; au Prince, Hayti, its. For the last twoor three weeks there ave been rumors- that a revolution gainst President HinpcJyte was imminent l this capital, and these having eached the ears of the Chief Executive, he aused the arrest of about eighty suspecte 1 erson?, dragged them from their omes and put them in irons. Among the ispected was a General Sully, who, hearing e was Wanted,* hid himself. Failing to . acure the (ieneral himself, his wife was.i iken instend and thrown into prison. Corpus Christi Day was the national holi ay, and it was reported that on that date. ' [ippolyte. in order to effectually terrify tbp opulace, had ordered a Gattling gun tc fc>3. ; aken down to the prison and the eighty risoners to be summarily executed.

He told her: l,It is useless; ny poor uncle hai been foully murlered." These words were retorted to the president;,, and twenty ninutes later the boy was brought before lim. Being asked if he had made the above tatement, he did not do?y it, but said: President, I have never conspired against rou by word c< deed." The boy was snot at race. About the> same tias?

Every execution is earned out in the most cold-blooded way, the ;xecutioners being soldiers of tho most degraded type. It is estimated that from May J8 to May 31, at least fifty persons have b?en put to deatb, and the figures are placed as aigh as 200.

If a> steamer put out for Southampton, and go.one day in that direction and the other six days go. in another direction, how long before the steamer will get to Southampton? It will never get there. And though a man may seem to be voyaging heaven viard- during the holy Sabbath'day, if, during the following six days of the week,, he is. going towards the worlds, the flesb, and the devil, he will never-ride up into the peaceful harbor of Heavwi. You cannot eat so much at the Sabbath banquet that you can afford religious abstinence the other six days.

Let ns ^ot be content with serving the Lord a little, with giving Him the odds and ends of life; the cold crumbs and broken fragments, as it were, that fall from life's table. Thousands of people are perfectly willing to be Christians if their discipleship will not interfere in the slightest degree witn anything else that they wish to be or do. In fact, their sole purpose seems to be to solve the problem how to grasp the world with one hand and to keep hold of Heaven with the other. They do not seem to care for any stars in their crown, for any sheaves in their garner. 'A starless crown aud a third-rate iarp in Heaven," tbev seem to say, "are good enough for me. if I can only keep from getting shut out forever/' Such service is little better than no service. In fact, we are not sure that it is con sidered :?s servicc at all. If we read our Lord's life correctly. He would not have allowed such people to count themselves among His disciples. If tbere was one thing about which lie was emphatic, it was that if anyone would follow Him, he must leave all. If auy one would be His disciple he must take up His cross. What sublime courage it took for a friendless youn? man, as He appeared to be2 to turn away the rich yOungiruler from His standard, when His cause seemed to be in such desperate need of influence and wealth, simply because he lacked one thin#, because he would not give up all for Christ! His demands are ju3t as imperative now. lie asks our all and our best, or noting. He never makes a compromise with any soul, and that soul dreadfully deludes itself that thinks it can make a compromise with Christ and give him anything le33 than all it is op bpjws ^2 be.?[Moravian \r-Jr HOW t^CCLE JEBRY WAS COXQt'SRED. The way in which a minister won an inveterate neglecter of public worship to attend the sanctuary is related as follows in the Lewiston Journal : "Not so very far from Damariscotta there is one of the loveliest seaport towns on the coast. It nestles uuder the hills so that strangers who pass women on the road and men at work outside of the village wonder where they all come from until a turn in the road shows the little village close by the ocean, which laughs back in amusement at their surprise.
