We started for Buffalo, Where our stay 5was short, the people in our section are posted on the good points of that city, so I shall pass it over. At 11 p. m. we are off for the Quaker City via Eric 85‘ Lehigh Valley R. R. passing Portage Bridge 60 miles from Buffalo; this: :bridge is built of iron 800 feet long, 234 ‘feet high, while below are the falls ofthe lGenessee, said to be much higher than (those of Niagara, Passing along the (banks of the Susquehanna River, it is 'here where the famed Starueea Viaduct is ; we now come to the Lehigh Valley, termed the Switzerland of America, we run through this Valley about 140 miles, with mountains on either side, from 200 to 300 feet high; sharp turns on curves that would almost make your hair stand. We arrived at Much Chunk where the scenery is indescrib- ably grand. Glen Onoko is here made classic by the legends of Onoko and WenOnn, the Indian Chief and Maiden, where the over hanging: rocks that tradi- tion says Onoko and the Indian Maiden flung themselves in wild despair and were dashed to pieces on the rocks below. Sir, you animadverted some time ago. on the extraordinary part of the members of our local legislature, raising their own salâ€" aries from six to eight hundred dollars ; but I thought at the time that it has claims to a fuller consideration; it looks to me one of the strangest and most barefaced things ever done by any body of men, and which they themselves cannot reflect on without blushing.- It was no party question for all assented to it, all accepted it; strange to: say, there was not a single voice raisedi against it; had there been one we should have sung the Miltonic stanza in his honor “ among the faithless, faithful only he.” Principle and deed were both swallowed as the sweetest of morsels. A pretty bus- iness, for men to fix their own, salaries and appropriate of the public money just what they pleased. We have hea rd of honorable ilpatriotic councils passing self-denying or- ! dinances, to prevent jobbery; but there would seem to be no self-denial among the members of Ontario. In all conscience there should be two at a bargain making; i those who pay should have a voice as well ,as those who receive ; but there was no , movement beyond the Legislative halls, nor ‘was it mooted in any public meeting we ever heard of. Surely Constitutional prin- ciple, and even common sense and common decency, required the gelectors t9 be con- sulted. But did not the Government pro- pose it? Yes, a Reform Governmentâ€"d a professed stickler tor Constitutional ob- servance and strict economy-â€"introduced it. But men should be judged by their acts, not their professions. Had it been the Govern- ment of that honorable and honest man, the . late Sandfield Macdonald. the Globe’s voca- bulary of abuse would not have been enough for him. “Corruption,” “ bribery,” “using means to make them his venal and pliant tools,” not a low or dirty epithet ' would have been allowed to lie idle. The great Christian exemplar would have set all to work. By the bye, what has become of those epithets? They have evidently lost the Globe's patronage, and are likely to be- come obsolete; all appointments are now the pink of purity. Let us look now and see if there was any reasonable call for such an increase. Assuming the session to last two months, and it need not to last so long. if they would only give up their miserable sqnabling and wretched, wretched per- sonalities, we humbly think $300 a month was" a sufficient, an ample allowance; to this then there falls to be added their tra veiling expenses. Looking at what they were, we make hold to say it is more than a majority of them ever earned. We are well infoimed that quite a number of them lived cheaply, and made a good deal of money, but assuredly it was a remuneration far beyond the quality or quantity of the work done- But they were not content, and havmg it in their own power, they put their hands into the people’s pockets, and made $409 or $800 a session. We like to see public servants well paid, but not in this degree. Multiply the $200 by the number of members, and see what the new addition amounts to. All this too when the country at large is suffering extreme depression. It is by such uncalled-for and reckless expen- diture in items. that the aggregate of our taxation is so fearfully increased. It is my purpose when the member is put through his catechism, to propose a few questions on this point and I hope others will do ‘the same.

In my next letter I Will describe some more of the buildings and give an out- line of some articles on exhibition. Eight thousand business men have asked judge McAlister of Chicago, to resign. I will now give a short description of the principal buildings &c. The largest and most important of these is the main building, which is constructed of iron, glass and tin; it is in the form of a parallelogram, 1880 feet long and 464 feet wide, the centre of 150 feet square is raised above the surrounding portion 3 and towers 48 feet square, rise to a height of 120 feet from the ground at , the corners; this gives ventilation as ' well as ornament, with the galleries ; this building gives 936,000 square feet of flooring on over 20 acres, having a main avenue of 1830 feet long and 120 feet wide through the centre. It was built , by R.J. Dobbins, at acost of $1,420,000; ‘ 3600 tons of iron were used in the l columns, trusses and girders. Machin- l ery hall is north west from main build- ;ing, as it is also in the form of a paral- lelogram, 1400 feet long and 360 feet ‘ wide, having with connections an area of } about 14 acres; it is built principally of , wood, iron and glass, by Mr. Quigley of l Wilmington, Del., at a cost of$545,000; in the centre of this building is the great Corhss engine, supplying the motive power for {1]} £50 machinery in the build- ing, it stands 39 feetL high and 11133 P nominal horse power of 1509, but It {S 'capable of being worked up to 2000 If required ; the cylinders have a diameter of 45 inches and to stroke oflO feet, the great gear wheel is 30 feet in diameterl and has a face of 2 feet and weighs 5t'il r'tons, making 36 revolutions per minute, equal to a peripheral speed of 38 miles per hour, the cranks weigh 3 tons each, and the walking-beams are 27 feet long, 9 feet wide and weigh 11 tons each, the connecting rods are made of horseshoe iron and required 10,000 horse shoes. The agricultural hall is in the north part of the grounds, it is in the same ferm as the machinery hall an area of about 10 acres. The horticultural hall is south of the agricultural hall, it is a very hand- some building or stone, brick,\ iron and glass, 389 feet long, 200 feet wide and 80 feet high, the grounds sorrounding it is devoted to gardening, cost about $250,000 ; it will remain as a perman- ent ornament to Fairmount Park.

In _ January last the Earl of Erne was created a Baron of the United Kingdom, and Mr. J. R. Urmsby-Gore. Mr. Henry Gerard Sturt. Mr. John Tollemache, and Sir Robert Gerard were raised in a “batch” to the Upper House as Lords Harlec‘n, Allingtou, 'l‘ollemache, and Gerard; while the Earl of Abergavenny was created a Marquis, and the Duke of Richmond had an additional dukedom, that of Gordon, bestowed upon him. Since that time Lord Northbrook had been rewarded with an earldom for his services in India, and the Earldom of Beaconsfield has been also bestowed on Mr‘. Disraeli. The exact number of peeragel, spiritual and temporal, including those en. joyed by members of the Royal Family, stands consequently at the present moment _. at 503, headed by His Royal Highness the r Prince of Wales as Duke of Cornwall, and ' ending with “Mortimer, Lord Sackville,"" the junior baron. The dukes number 21, the marqmses 22, the earls 132, thov viscounts 31, the archbishops and bishops 26, and the barons 265. The rest of the- roll is made up by the Royal Dukes. There - are one or two things to be noted in the present roll. Firstly, that the number of' pcerages on it is slightly in excess of the actual total number of the lords spiritual and temporal; Lord Cairns being ennmorr- ated twice over. both as n. baron and as Lord Chancellor; the Duke of Richmond both as a duke and also as Lord President of the Council; the Marquis of Hertl'ord. both as a marquis and also as Lord Chamhr erlin; Earl of Beauchsmp both as an earl- and also as Lord Steward ofthe Household}. and, lastly, the Earl of Erne both as an Irish representative peer ,and also as Lord-1 Fermrtnzagh.
