The way to Montreal from New York or Boston is an unbroken path of snow and ioe, yet when the visitor reaches the Canadian metropolis it seems to him as though if all the enow he had passed had been gathered np and flnng into the streets there would not be mote tiieie than there is. Where it has not been shoveled off the sidewalks it reaches to the bottoms of the old-fashioned pro* jeoting atone windows.

There was a murderer on the train bonnd for PlatUburg jail. He was ex pected, and the whole village turned out to see him. Picking out a Brooklyn contractor,-who -had to be steadied by a friend, the crowd followed him until he escaped into a barroom. One hundred and twenty men and wo men sat down at the first tables at Plattsburg, and were served with beef steak that a Newark doctor raid made him understand for the first time why meals are technically spoken of as board. The Canadian Custom House officer at Rouse's Point found that every man and woman had the biggest-sized valises and yet carried nothing but a single change of linen.

As if to show that their ammunition was not spent the besieged party kept np thefa; fire and belched forth fireworks daring the entire evening. Thoee who have seen the pioturea of the night attack upon Fort Sumter early in the war will have a feint idea of what the attack open the Ioe Palace was like. The snowshoes then retreated to Mount Royal, which they ascended) forming a three-mile line of blanketed Uauadian torch bearers on snow shoes. The head of the line reached the western summit of the mountain, while the last had not left the Windsor Hotel. Torehea glanced through the trees, much like fire creep ing in the underbrush in the Catskills, seen from the Hudson river boats some times. forth, as it were, fire and brimstone. Apparently it was a huge fiery serpent, whose vertebra) convulsed, writhed and emitted sparks from its joints. Each snowshoer was wellsupplied with Roman candles, and these kept spitting away during the whole of tho manoeuvres. For more than an hour the panorama continued. Forty thousand eyes of at least twenty thousand gazers on the Dq- minion square seemed never weary, and only turned from the spectacle occasion ally to view the specially attractive shower from tho palace fireworks. The lieauty of the spectacle was that the Montreal inhabitants, from one end of But the man to l>e pitied was tlto city to tht^oUier, had itiu'view fLa whole time. The suowshoers continued their descent, the procession passed through tho principal streets, singing their “suowshoe songs,” and at length the merrymakers sought their homes after midnight. A. Tar** Ito»inl*e*Be*„ i an There seemed to be almut one fur-clad sleigh driver to each visitor. Btrouge- looking policemen, in blue coats and su gar-loaf fur caps, kept the drivers from tearing the atrangers to pieces. They were not like New York policemen. Their clubs were kept in their belts, and they spoke in low and respectful tones. John Keith, of New York, who had been hustled along like a pillow In a boarding- school bedroom because he did not stand in line in the Orand Central Depot, asked one .of these fur-eap]>ed peelers bow he oonld get to a certain street. "Take the sleigh I show you to,” said the policeman, "and don’t let the driver swindle you. Give him half a dollar.” Keith was amazed, and went about all day shouting the praises of the polioe until a Montreal msn told him he was imposed npon, and that the law only allowed the driver to charge a quarter. The day proven] abominable. It either rained, hailed, or snowed steadily until night The New York girls stayed in doors, and pounded “We Never Speak •s We Paas By,” "Gobble, Gobble,” and "I Can’t Swim, bnt Yon Ought to See Jim,” out of the private pianos. The Canadian girls care no more for weather than as if they were ducks. They have no feathers to spoil, and they don’t wear good clothes out of doors. They were met with everywhere dragging tobog gans, swinging skates on their >rms, scudding along in sleighs, cheering the brawny Soots st the curling match, stalk ing np the mountain side like so many Swiss, filling the air with their laughter, decking every scene with the gay colors of their wraps and mufflers, and blush ing rose red with excessive vitality. The yonng men were not behindhand. There was a hookey game, snow-shoe racing, and the grand annual drive of the contractors. These contractors are the masons, builders, plumbers, carpen ters and what not They out each other’s throats in business 86i jlaya in the year, and on one day they all drive out to some country hotel to bury bus iness under beefsteak and drown hard fofiqgs in hot Scotch. They made a bigtshow in their sleighs, but sleighs are ■o common here they don’t count. Any New York office boy Who happened to be here could climb into one, have a man heap blankets and furs on him, see his driver climb up four feet above him with a far ooat, and fur hat on, with a for robe on his lap, a bear skin hang ing from his seat, and four feet of buf falo for flying from the tail of the sleigh, and ride, anywhere in the city for tho price of a seat in a Bowery theatre. The ioe palace is bigger and ten times more beantifnl than the one of lost year. In the day time it looked like a castle whose battlements, turrets, arches, and piers were hewn from a crystal. Ioe so perfectly clear is seldom seen iu New York. It ia like plate glass, now that the glare of a dozen carbon points shine through its aide. It is like a palace iu a dream of fairyland. It is as big as the new Barge Office, off the Battery, and its translnoent walls have a creamy tone like alabaster. A notable event at the Montreal carni val waa an attack of the snowshoers or the Ice Palace. It had been surrounded with mimic cannon from the battlements during the day. At a given signal the mowthoers surrounded the palace after the feahion of the asaault npon Jericho, marching more than seven times, how ever.

The "green horns” were all eager to become mem bers, and the next night wm appointed m the time for the organization. All the Whigs were in possession of the prison,, and the Democrats were trying to torn them out. The Warden and I were Whigs, and we didn’t propose to let anybody know that counterfeiting had i>ccii going on in tne prison, w© w- lowed Ulrich to continue his work at usual. After the prisoners had been locked np one night, we went to the work room, sounded the walls, floor, and ceiling, and examined his tools. We couldn't find anything, and concluded that we had been misinformed. We didn’t know then what a skillful man Ulrich was. He hadn’t made his repu tation. One day three Scotland Yard detectives came to the prison. They had been sent over by the Bank of Eng land to talk with Ulrich. I wm present at the interview, and learned for the first time that Ulrich had been employed by the Bank of England in its paper mills.

They oflered Ulrioh all manner of inducements to tell them how he managed to get the paper from the prills. He langhed at them, and said lie had stolen no paper. Putting his hand on a silk handkerchief on the neek of one of the detectives, he said, 'Give me that, and certain chemical prepara tions, tools and presses, and I will make you a perfect Bank of England note.' They went away disappointed. '"After, learning what a formidable fellow Ulrioh was we watched him closer than ever. He never gave a sign that he suspeotod we had been warned. One day the convict who bad first in formed the Warden asked to see him, and told him that Ulrich’s counterfeit plate had left the prison. It had been covered with tallow, wrapped in oil-silk taken from the prison hospital, and sent to New York in a pickle barrel. Pickles were made by contract in the prison.

We watched the newspapers, and it wm not long be fore we read the annonncement that a remarkably well-executed counterfeit $3 note of the Oonneotiont State Bank had been discovered.

If starch is cooked sufficiently It dpei not need anything to prevent its stick ing. So I am informed by a successful laundress. A nice little dish for supper on a cold day is made by ehqp|(ing a little raw pork and an onion with half as much grated bread as there is meat. Soak the bread in a little sweet milk; mix two or three eggs with this, shape in little flat cakes, dip in floor, and brown in butter. Hash made of bits of roMt beef or of a lamb may be given a very good flavor by using raw potatoes instead of .cold boiled. Chop the potatoes very fine, in the proportion of two-thirds of these to one-third of meat This will require a lunger time to cook, of course, but it is a dish much liked by many people. Stale bread may be utilized in making a good break!ast dish.

The dealer led the way to an immense zinc-lined ioe chest, the lid of which he flung open. It was half full of huge white blocks of ioe, and packed and pressed down in and among the ‘blocks lay a quivering, flut tering mass of brown birds. Now and again a little scream—yes, sir, a scream of agony went up from their pretty tittle throats. Now and again one tittle crea ture leaped into the air as if the horroi; oonld not escape. Wings broken, rides torn, flesh all dabbled in blood that froze m it dripped from his pitiful wonnda, de wonld aink back, and the agony.

Its little heart beat tike a trip-hammer against my palms; its startled eyes, dim with agony, seemed to look appealing into mine. Poor dumb, wounded thing I so cold from long contact with ioe that my fingers were chilled. It seems im possible that this story can be true. These birds are shot, or snared, or oanght in nets. Often if shot they are merely slightly wounded, and the wounded and the dead are damped into bags and brought to New Orleans for lour breakfast tables, and "preserved” in and ioe pack until sold. Then the dealer takes each bird by the legs and slaps its small head sharply against the ice-box. This kills.

"The sad fate of Charles Deimonioo recalls a strange suicide that excited much comment several years ago—that of John Daly, the bnilder and chief owner of the Windsor Hotel. Both wandered off to lonely out-of-the-way places, where their liodies were found many days after their diMppearance, and both also were insane. Daly had prospered m a bnilder till he became a millionaire. The Windsor had been finished bnt a short time when every thing was laid flat by the crash of 1873. Daly fonnd himself in financial trouble, and the worry of it unhinged his mind. He imagined that he wm rained, though \ his case was not nearly so bad as that. In fact only a tittle management was necessary to bring him through all right His chief difficulty, as he saw it, wm with old Peter Goelet, who owned part of the ground on which the hotel wm built. Goelet had the name of a hard landlord, and at any rate tie always stood on his rights. Seeing everything going to pieces around him, Daly be lieved he wm going the same way.
