A cablegram says that owing to the state of affairs in India. and the criticism of the present Administration there by Lord Law- rence. Sir Hemy Havelock, and others, there is a good deal of talk of Lord Lytton’s recall.

Instead of frankly owning up that the whole Ministry were equally deserving of the censure of the country, and striving to assist their leaders in the extremely arduous task hevhas undertaken to acâ€" complish, (i. e. leading his party to the treasury benches again) they are act- ually bringing their affairs from bad to Worse. Conspicuous amongst such sheets are the Ottawa Free Press and Herald, They had no fault to find with Mackenzie or anyof his theories as long l as their’party was in power, but when I defeat overtakes them, it is suddenly discov: red that their leaders are to blame. Such conduct as this cannot result in any benefit to either the organs or the party whose interests they profess to have atheart. It shows a cowardly disposition to strike a man when he is down, and as :none were louder in singing the praises of Mackenzie in the days of his prosperity than these same sheets, their abuse at the present tune can not hoodwink the Conservatives. Govern- ment patronage is what they are so suddenly 'veering- around for. They seem to recognize the hopelessness of any attempt to bring the Reformers into eflice again, and are therefore anxious to get what they can from the enemy, no matter how small a portion" may fall to their share.

I'er paper money will be inedeetnable,except at the option of the Government; and it shall he a legal tender in paymentlof all debts, including those due the Government. With the railway complete, three hun- drrd million dollars worth of land could be disposed of, which we think, would more than pay the whole cost of the road. This scheme, which we have- roughly sketched, also meets with the aptirobatiou of Hon. Isaac Buchanan of Hamilton. Of course there are some who do not approve ofit, and have taken the National to task, but that paper has proven more then a match for all of them, and announces that it is ready to diSuuss the matter with all who choose to advance any argument, worthy of con- sideration. In this connection we are pleased to see the Toronto National, (a paper whose columns ditplny a great amount of ability,) coming prominently forward and advocating that the Pacific Railway be promptly pushed through, and that the work done on it, and supplies fur- nished for it be paid with Canadian paper money. By this means the work _could be completed without adding one dollar to the taxes ‘of the pcople,â€"-and it would be accomplished as fast as money could build it, without putting it, elf for an indefinite period, after the manner of' the late Adminis- The completion of this work is of vast importanca to this country,and we beâ€" lieve the opinion is entertained by many ot'the most intelligent Canadians, who are anxious to see the Dominion become wealthy and prOspI:rous by the rapid development of her resources, that this railway should be pushed through as quickly as money can accomplish it. The policy of‘ the late Administration in this particular has many advocates, who zealously uphold the theory that the railway should only be built as rapidly as the resources oftlie country will per- mit. i. a. “spread the work over a generation, or, so, regardless of the fact that the. general advancement of the whole Dominion may be retarded, as long as there is no debt incurred.” They seem to think that economy con- sists in the mere act of not spending money, and that economy of this nature must necessarily? produce wealth. In - stead of buildingthe road immediately, and paying for it by the sale of millions of acres of good land, and allowing this generation to reap some of the profits ‘ and prosperity which will naturally ; arise from such a large outlay of money and labor, they prefer to build a section JIOW, another again, and a third at some future time, trusting that the remainder will be attended to when they are laid to rest, and more youthful minds have taken their places.

THE THEFT EFFECTED BY SMASHING A PANE 0F GLASS. Robbery of Dry Goods. LOCAL NEWS. Now I hold that this talk about. an in- come of$5001 and a $1,000 a" year 1:; all Now the point I am coming at is this. ls it for the best interests of mankind and would it contribute to the further develope- ment of the human species if all would marry when they reach the age of say 22 ? If what Nellie says is true, “ that there are many good men who are afliicteduiih bash- fulness, who sometimes get good Wives and are thereby converted into neefnl, and sen- sible citizens”. then let us pass a law com- pellingr them to marry. Upon my word. though, I would like to be looking through a stove pipe hole, or any other convenient , plaee, where I could see .Nellie courting.r a bashful young man. I wonder how she would do it ? I cannot refrain from telling you a true story relating to lady who court» ed and married aMr. Rashfutness. This young man was possessed oia very good share of real estate and personal property, but was too bashful to even hint at. marriage to any girl. The ladies all know how a bashful man acts when in their company. This man used to turn blue in the face, sit down in the baby’s chair, catch his toes iii ‘ the carpet. and always took good care to" laugh when every body else did ; and if he happened to chime in a little longer than any of the rest his countenance would assume a scarlet hue. At last he met the lady who afterwards became his wife, and \she cooked him up by a process well known to herself, (and perhaps Nellie too,) and brought him to a sense ofhis duty. Atlast the day wherein they were to be made man and wife was appointed. and as a number of miles intervened between their places of aque, he took the train, and arrived at the home of his betrothed. on the evening previous to the celebration of the nuptials. But while conv'ersmg with his furure bride. he suddenly took‘frightmnd hastened home again. Now that was enough to freeze any lady, to think that her cup ofjoy Was sud- denly dashed to the ground by the whim of a bashful young man ; but she put on courage and took her departure for a friends house near by where the young man lived, and there married him iii spite of his en- treaties to the contrary. This proves the truth of the old adage. that " a man is what. a woman makes him" ; it also proves that ladies must advance a little sometimes. Sunâ€"The above question has been dis- turbing the minds of young Cnna’ds. for some time past, and is liker to emitime doing so since it hns'a contagious tendency. As near‘ as I can judge, the rent ohjvct of the agitation over the above subject ‘ is to establish more early marriages, and I must confess this matrimonial question is a very funny thing anyway. The ladies hold that ithe gentlemen are at fault, while the gents ‘ muintain that the ladies somehow are all wrong ; the gents are afraid to marry unless they have a full purse to support their wives, while the ladies think they could get along just as well if it was half fullâ€" only get married. Theory is all very well but it must be remembered that it takes the practice to put the polish on. For instance a man’s wife becomes sick, and she says to her husband. " John. I wish you would kill one of those chickens ot'ours, and niake me a little soup 1” John jumps up to do his wife’s bidding, but instead of killing the chicken he theorizes and finally concludes that it can he done, but neglecting to put his theories into prnctice, the bird dies of old age. 1 do not wish to disclose what takes place meanwhile in-doors. so I draw the curtain.
