They have prevented steamers embarking'passeu- gets and removed the Union Jack from English vessels. The sheikhs of several tribes have sent envoys to Suskim offering to desert Osman Digma. and assist the English it paid for their services. Twenty-seven hundred bodies have been buried at Teb, including those of the Egyptians killed in the fight between Baker Pasha’s troops and the rebels. An Arab arrived at Suakim from Osman Digma’e camp reports that the rebel leader is still bitterly hostile to the English. He reports that Osman Digma. has 4,000 men at Tumanieb, and more twenty-three miles from Suaklm. The eleven have determined togupport _Osma.n Digzzia; Denounced as Cranks and GuileauI-A Panacea Proposed. A Washington telegram says: Joaquin Miller, before the House Committee to-day, characterized the Mormons as “Cranks and Guiteaus." He opposed repressive measures as only tending to incite them to further lawless acts, instead of subduing them. Polygamy, he thought, was on the decrease, and he prescribed education as a panacea for all the ills from which the people of Utah suffered. The Mormons, as a people, in his opinion, were extremely ignorant persons, led by cranks and those who had their own ends to serve, and all that was necessary to bring them back to the paths of morality was to show them their true condition. Gordon’s reports of the submission of the sheikhe ere distrusted at Cairo. It is said he is the dupe of the eheikhs, who take bribes and delude him with fake news. It is reported that Shaikh Ibrahim is on the White Nile with 9,000 Arabs, and that Shaikh Busheris advancing on Khartoum by the Blue Nile with 8,000 menu Nubar Pasha, President of the Egyptian Council. has renewed to Zoebehr Pasha. the offer of the Governorship of Khartoum and Darfour.

Kassala if El Mahdi con- tinueafightiug A last (Monday) night’s Montreal despatoh says:‘ Great consternation prevails at Three Rivers over the sad death of two children, aged 4 and 2 years respectively. On Wednesday last Mrs. Charles Caron, living on the second and third flats, locked the children in a room and went out. She had gone but a short time when the cry of fire led her to return, but she faintedon ascend- ing the stairway. The brigade arrived, and the children were spied tapping at the windows, but were suffocated before rescued. Mr. Caron, the father, narrowly scaped while attempting to rescue the elder child. and the parents are reported dangerously ill. The fire is supposed to have been caused by the children playing with matches. _ Gen. Graham has arrived at Suakim and is making preparations to afivanca upom Tamatieb. The troops are embarking at Trinkimt for Suakim. Osman Digma. is stationed ten miles from Suakim. SUAKIM, March 4.â€"Before the British renew the attack upon the rebels Osman Digma will be ofleced a conference. The 5,000 rebels who fled from Take: when the British entered on Saturday joined Osman Digma. Only 1,000 of them are Soudsnese, being fanatics sent from Jordofsn and Dxufour. It Osman Digma. refuses to surrender it is expected the rest of the tribes under the sheikhs will express a. desire to come to terms. El Mahdi has forbidden the sheikhs on the White Nile and Blue Nile to advance to Khartoum or to provoke hostilities. Four hitherto hastile sheikhs have sub- mitted to Gen. Gordon. Three soldiers of the old garrison (f El Obeid have arrived here and report great misery at El Obeid ; that El Mahdi fears the tribesmeu and inhabitants, and that a reign of terror exists. El Mahdi has stored up all the rifles, saying they belong to the Egyptian Government, and he will deliver them to its representatives. El Mahdi received Gen. Gordon’s letter naming him Sultan of Kordoian with ecstacies of delight, and gave the messenger who brought the letter a robe of honor. A Dover, N.E., despetch says: Premier Boudoir was last week convicted of killing Frederick Grant at Great Falls, despite the evidence 0! the prisoner’s wife, daughter and denghtenin-lew that the assault was committed by Boudoir's son, who fled to Canada. The son Désiré Boudoir, arrived here last night. and said. “Iam Désiré Boudoir, who killed Ed. Grant at Great Tells, for which the jury convicted my ether. Rather than have him snfler prob- ibly life imprisonment I have come back to snfier the penalty of my crime.” After his arrest he said he threw the kettle that killed Grant, believing a. mob was attack- ing the house. Premier Boudoir’s lawyer will eskaperdon for his client from the Governor. CAIRO, March 4.â€"A previously hostile chief has offered to accompany 001. Stewart up the White Nile to promulgate Gen. Gordon’s manifesto. . Mr. Gladstone replied to the strictures of Sir Wilfrid Lawson, and justified the policy which the Government had been pursuing. He asserted it was necessary to hold Suakim for the present. in order to keep down the slave trade. Sir Stafiord North- oote said the lack of coherency in the Gov- ernment's Egyptian policy caused misfor- tunes in the Soudan. The Marquis o! Hartlngton, Secretary of State for War, said the British would retire from Suakim as soon as it was compatible with the safety of that town. The motion for adjournment was rejected by: 105 to 103. A Berlin despntob says the Landtag has rejected Herr Windthorst’s motion to re- peal the law abolishing the salaries of. Catholic priests. Rev. W. A. Hunter, M.A., of Parkdale, has again received an invitation to the pas- sorate o! the Presbyterian Church, Orange- villo, which ha ha not accepted. In the House of Commons this after- noon questions were put to the Government regarding the condition of affairs in Egypt, 'which the Government refused to answer. Greet excitement arose. Mr. Lawson (Radical) moved that the House adjourn in order to discuss the Soudon problem. He violently attacked the Government. charg- ing it with cowardice, blood guiitiness, butchery and jingoiem. Lord Hurtington said it was not the proper time to indicate the pol-0y of the Government in Egypt. The immediate otjeet was to secure the safety of the remaining Egyptian garrisons, andlpmvide for the ssfety of Suakim. In the House of Lords today Earl Gran- ville said the reports of the immediate withdrawal of the British troops from the Soudan were absolutely untrue. (Loud °h9°‘;'.-) .. . ..

DOWN 0N THE MORMONS. To Save Ills Father. THE SOUDAN. The midges are dreadful. and you cannot stand a moment without being stung. In at twenty minutes to 1. I remained sketch- ing the lovely views from the Windows in the dining-room, and then sketched the beautiful mountain also. Even here, almwugh the children were close at hand, the feeling of loneliness when I saw no room for my darling and felt I was indeed alone and awidow overcame me very sadly! It was the first time I had gone in this way on a. visit (like in former times), and I thought so much of all dearest Albert would have done and said, and how he would have wandered about everywhere, admired everything, looked at everything- andnow! Ohl must it ever, ever be ac? We drove straight up to the abbey ‘ ‘ ‘ and walked about the ruins, which are, indeed very fine, and some of the architec- ture and carving in beautiful preservation. Most truly does Walter Scott say : If thou would’st view lair Melrose arlght Go visit it by the pale moonlight. It looks very ghostlike, and reminds me a little of Holyrood Chapel. ’ ' ' Another twenty minutes or hall hour brought us to Abbotstord, the well-known, residence of Sir Walter Scott. It lies low ‘ and looks rather gloomy. ‘ " " They showed us the part 0! the house in which Sir Walter lived and all his rooms â€"-his drawing-room, with the same furni- ture and carpet ; the library, where we saw his MS. of “ Ivanhoe " and several others of his novels and poems in a beautiful hand- writing, with hardly any erasures, and other relics which Sir Walter had himself collected. Then his study, a small dark room with a little turret, in which is a bust in bronze done from a cast taken after death of Sir Walter. In his study we saw his journal, in which Mr. Hope Scott asked me to write my name (which I felt it to be a presumption in me to do ), as also the others. We went thrggh some passages into two or three rooms, where were col- lected fine specimens of old armor, etc.,s.nd where in a glass case are Sir Walter’s last clothes. We ended by going into the dining- room, in which Sir Walter Scott died, where we took tea. During this viéit the Queen made an expedition to Melrose ; “ most picturesque ang‘sugrounded _by woods apd h}l_la :”‘ 0n the 12th of September. 1877, the Queen left Balmoral for an expedition to Loch Mares, which proved most delightful. Here are one or two passages, which show how_the_time was spent : The Queen’s face was a good deal bruised and swollen, and her right thumb was excessively painful and much swollen. Smith was sent back for assistance, Brown in the meanwhile bBng ” indefatigable in his attention and care." Almost directly after the incident happened “ I said to Alice it was terrible not to be able to tell it to my dearest Albert,” to which the Prin- cess answered : " But he knows it all, and I am sure he watched over us.” “ It was not cold,” the Queen says. “ and I remem- bered from the first what my beloved one had always said to me, namely. to make the best of what could not be altered." How- ever, except for Smith, the accident had no serious consequences. “ People were fool- ishly alarmed when we got upstairs, and made a great fuss. I took only a little soup and fish in my room and had my head ban- daged.” In Auguat, 1867, the Queen visited Floors and the Scotch border country. Kelso is described as being very pio- turesqua. Here she was the guest of the Duke of Buooleuch, whose house is ad- mired greatly : “ The new from the windows is beauti- ful. The distant Cheviot range, with a. great deal of wood-,.Keleo emboaomed in rich woods, with the bridge and the Tweed flowing beneath natural grass terraces which go down to it. Very fine. It re- minded me a little of the View from the Phoenix Park, near Dublin.” "Reading; wnting. Beetrioe'a room is a. very pretty one, but very hot, being over the kitchen. Brown's just opposite, also very nice and not hot, but smaller. After dinner the Duchess of Roxburghe read a. little out qt the newspapers." “In another momentâ€"during which I had time to reflect whether we should be killed or not. and though there were still things I had not settled and wanted to do â€"the car- rmge turned over on its side and we were all precipitated to the ground! I came down very hard, with my face upon the ground, near the carriage. the horses both on the ground, and Brown calling out in despair, 'The Lord Almighty have-mercy on us! Who did oversee the like of this before ? I thought you were gill killed.’ ” A “ It was quite dark when we left, but all the lamps were lit as usual; from the first, however, Smith, who was driving, seemed to be quite confused. Suddenly, about two mxles tram Altnagiuthasach, and about twenty minutes utter he had. started, the carriage began to turn up on one side. We called out, ‘ What‘s the matter ‘1” There was a. pause, during which Alice said, ‘ We are upsetting.‘ In September, 1869. the Queen visited Invertroesachs, and the entry in the journal for the let is as follows : Copies of the Queen‘s new book have just reached this side. A perusal of it shows that the extracts already sent by cable show very fairly its character. It is almost entirely devoted to descriptions of little incidents in the Queen’s daily routine of life and to John Brown. In one place she describes how a careless driver upset herhcarriage in a. drive from Altnagiutha- sac : We got up at 7.30, breakfasted at 8, and at 8 30 left Balmoral with Louise, Beatrice and Jane Churchill (Brown is always, unless Imention to the contrary, on the boil fqr Ballayar. We have only space to quote the follow- ing passage, one of the many in which the Queen describes the beautiful scenery of the district : Hardly a creature did we meet, and we passed merely a. very few pretty gentlemen’s places, of very poor cottages with simple women and berefooted,long-heired lassiee and children, quiet and unassuming old men and laborers. This solitude, the romance and wild loveliness of everything here, the absence of hotels and beggars, the independent simple people, who all speak Gaelic here, all make beloved Scotland the proudest, finest country in the world.

When the coffin was being taken away she (Mrs. Brown) subbed bitterly. We took some whiskey and water and cheese, accord - ing to the universal Highland custom, and then left. begging the dear old lady to bear up. I told her the parting Was but for a. time. Saw my good Brown at a little before 2. He said all had gone off well, but he seemed very sad. The conclusion is dated Balmoral, Novem- ber, 1883. and runs as follows: A few words I must add in conclusion to this volume. The faithful attendant who is so often mentioned throughout these leaves is no longer with her whom he served so truly. devotedly, untiringly. In the ful- ness of health and strength he was snatched away from his career of usefulness. after an illness of only three days. on the 27th of March of this year, respected and beloved by all who recognized his rare worth and kindness of heart, and truly regretted by all who knew him. His loss to me (ill and helpless as I was at the time from an accident) is irreparable, for he deservedly possessed my entire confidence, and to say that he is daily, nay, hourly missed by me, whose l‘felong gratitude he won by his constant care, attention and devotion, is but a feeble expression of the truth. BALMOBAL, Sunday, June 16, 1872 â€"We had come home at5 minutes past 8; I had wished Brown good night, and was just going to my dressing-room, when he asked to come in again and say a few words to me. He came in, and said, very kindly, that he had seen 001. Ponsonby. and that there was rather bad news of Dr. McLeod, who was very illâ€"in fact. that they were afraid he was dead! Oh! what a blow! How dreadful to lose that dear, kind, loving, large-hearted friend I My tears flowed fast, but I checked them as much as I could and thanked good Brown for the very kind way he broke this painful and most unex- pected news to me. I sent for and told Leopold, who was quite stunned by it, and all my maids. Every one was most deeply grieved. I cried very bitterly, for this is a terrible loss to me. I give my fainhful Brown an oxidized silver biscuit-box and some onyx studs. He was greatly pleased with the former, and the tears came to his eyes, and be said, " It is too much.” God knows it is not, for one so devoted and faithful. 0n the 2131: of October. 1875, the Queen attended the funeral of Brown’s father at Migps, oppoeiuefibergemie: She_ says: There is scarcely one of the 400 pages, from that of the dedication to the final tribute, in which the name of Brown does no} appear. O_n one ougmion she writqs: $15,000 Found in Bed. Isabella McWean, an elderly woman, who had been living in the village of Essex Centre, Ont., for the last thirty years, died last week. It was rumored that the old lady was possessor of a large amount of money, and that she boarded every cent that she obtained. She was always very reticent and never associated with any of her neighbors. After her death it was decided to search her dwelling. Nothing unusual was found until the searchers en tered her apartment, where, on pulling out the drawers of a bureau, they found a number of purses filled with bills. Bills were found in her trunk pinned to the linings of her dresses, and also gold amounting to $668 in English sovereigns. Together With the bills, the amount found was $2,368. The searchers were about to leave the apartment when Mr. Powrie, one of the party. felt some hard lumps in the bed, and, ripping the tick open with a knife, he pulled out bag after bag of silver, , which were thrown into a basket, and when 3 all was extracted there was as much as one ‘ could lift. The money was taken to the village and a queer variety of coins was displayed. There were old Mexican and Spanish coins not circulated in Canada for over forty years. When all the money was counted it was found that she was ‘ worth about $15,000. Most of this fortune will go to John McWean, a cousin of the old lady, who came from Scotland about a year | ago. The Queen‘s attachment for Dr. Maolecd is very clearly shown in every reference to him, but nowhere more clearly than by her description of the way the news of his death was cogveypd to her. It was, as Gen. Ponsonby observed after- wards, a striking scene. “ There was Lochiel,” as he said, “ whose great-grand- unele had been the real moving cause of the rising of 1745â€"tor without him Prince Charles would not have made the attempt â€"showicg Your Majesty (whose great- great-grandfather he had striven to de- throne) the scenes made historical by Prince Charlie’s wanderings. It was a scene one could not look on unmoved.” Yes; and I feel a sort of reverence in going over these scenes in this most beau- tiful country, which I am proud to call my own, where there was such devoted loyalty to the family of my ancestorsâ€"for Stuart blood is in my veins, and I am now their representative, and the people are as de- voted and loyal tome as they were to that unhappy race. It was all BO truly earnest. and no de- scription can do justice to the perfect devotion of the whole assemblage. It was most touchlng, and I- longed much to join in it (Since 1873, says the Queen in a foot note, I have regularly parteken of the communion at Crathle every autumn, it being always given at that time.) To see all these simple, good people in their nine plein dresses (including an old women in In: match), so many of whom I knew and some of whom had walked fer, old as they were. in the deep snow, was very striking Almost all our own people were there. We came home at twenty minutes before 2 o’olook. ~ Dunng her visit to Ivarloohy she was-re- oei_ved by Cameron of Loohiel: A young lady inquired of a married friend how she should best retain the effec- tions of her lord and master. The reply was; Feed him and flutter him." ' The Queen’s printers, Messrs.Spottiswode & 00., have the largest printing press in the world. It scarcely ever stops, and turns out 24,000 sheets per hour. Over 700 applications for licenses have been made in Montreal. only 800 of which will be granted. The Queen was greatly impressed by the communion service as it is celebrated in the Scotch Kirk, and in an entry in the journal fol: Nov. 13, 1871, anye : there is that beautiful heather, which you do not see elsewhere. I prefer it greatly to Switzerland, magnificent and glorious as the scenery of that country is. On Wednesday, Sept. 8, she writes : A very bad night from 9. violent attack of neuralgia. in my leg. I only got up after 9 end _oould hardly walk or stend, but was otherwise not ill. I took a. little, but very little, breakfast alone. I remained at home reading, writing and resting on the sofa or in an arm-chair. A truer, nobler, trustier heart More loyal and more loving, never beat Within a. human breast. RICHMOND HILL THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1884. Mr. McLelan said the Govérnment of Canada had always carefully looked after the interests of sailors. The coasts were probably as well» lighted as any in the world. The Government, having been informed that shoals and rocks not laid down on the charts existed in Georgian Bay and Lake Huron, had begun a system of surveys on those waters. the results of which would be marked on new charts from time to time. A measure to prevent overloading had been contemplated. but it was found that there were many difilcul- ties in the way. One of these was that a vessel sometimes called at three or four ports in a day, and would be differently trimmed when leaving each. He did not think the power now given to the Inspector was arbitrary. inasmuch as there was an appeal to the Minister. The motion was carried. Mr. Cameron (Huron), in moving for correspondence between the Government and any of the Local Governments of the Provinces respecting the Liquor License Act of 1883, said it was well understood there was a good deal of dissatisfaction in Quebec and New Brunswick against the law which had been expressed by the Leg- islature. In Ontario, too, the Legislature had by vote instructed the Government to maintain the rights of the Province, men of both sides of politics being in favor of the Government of the Province having power on this subject. The motion was carried. Mr. Trow presented the petition of the Warden of Perth praying for the regulation of freight charges enrailways. Sir John Maodonsld presented a Bill to amend the Independence of Parliament Act of 1878. He explained that the first section was to provide that in case a member of Parliament accepted office under the Crown to which a salary or fee was attached, he should not; be disqualified as a member of Parliament if in his commission or letter of appointment it was stated that the person named should hold the oflice without salary, fee or emolument of any kind. ' The second clause made a provision respecting the seat of his hon. friend beside him (Sir Charles Topper). _ The motion as put by the Speaker was, “ Sir John Macdonald moves for leave to introduce a. Bill to amend the Independence of Parliament Act of 1878.” Mr. Blake moved to amend the motion by adding the words, “ and to impair efli- uieflnpy _ot_sa.id_§ot:" Mr. Davies thought the provisions 0! the Act quite stringent enough, too much so, in many respects. He spoke strongly against the arbitrary power given to inspectors, and thought the inspector should in every case be accompanied by a representative of the ship it the owner so desired. The Act was also defective in that it did not provide for the inspection of vessels trading be- tween Canadian and {American ports. Mr. Blakeâ€"Oh. yes, I can. A Govern- ment has been turned out on such a motion before now. The Speaker put the motion, and said he thought the nays had it. Mr. Blakeâ€"Yeas and nays. The House accordingly divided, and the amendment was lost by 55 yeas to 101 nays, a. tat-riot. party vote, exoept that Mr. Mitchell, thgggh in his place, did not vote: Sir John Maodonald moved that the Gov- ernment business have precedence on Thursdays. Sir. John Macdonaldâ€"You cannot do that. This main 'motibn was carried on the same diVislon reversed. Mr. Paint: said the inspection might be effected by a. port warden. He thought than if an inspection were ordered 11‘. should apply to Britiah Columbia, unless the’ ves- sels were manned by Chinese, in which case there was not so much pause fqr_a.nxiepy. The debate was coutmued by Mr.Mc- Callum, Mr. Stairs and Mr. Guillev, who spoke against Government inspection in the directxon indicated. OTTAWA, March 5.â€"â€"Mr. Casgrain called attention to the fact that he was still unable to secure the attendance of a quorum of the committee on his Bill to amend the Act to prevent fraud in relation to public contracts. He moved that the quorum be reduced-from five to three. lubion. . Mr. Sproule said as the trade on the lakes increased losses seemed to increase also. He thought the Minister of Marine and the Government should be called upon to provide more stringent legislation on this subject. Mr. O‘Brien said the construction of many vessels on Georgian Bay was such as to make uopigents likely to ocouf._ Mr. Dawson, in moving for 9. return showing what vessels navigating the water of Lakes Superior and Huron were in- spected during the past season of naviga- tion, under the authority of Government, and the list of vessels lost in the season of 1883, called attention to the serious loss of life and property on the lskes last summer. Last session he had given facts relating to the loss of no less than twelve steamers, causing the death of 300 persons. Mr. McNeill stronglyjfiqpported the resoh 1n hinn. On the motion of Sir John Macdonald Mr. MoMasber was appointed on the com- mibtee in place of Mr. Cameron, and Mr. Casgrain withdrew his motion. The following Bills were read a. first time: To prevent Sunday excursionsâ€"Mr. Charlton. For the prevention of the adultemtion of fog! a.n_d drqga. Mr. Bowel}, replying to Mr. Vail, said it was not the intention of the Government to repeal the export duty on pine and spguoe Egs. -Sir Hgotot Langevin, replying to Mr. Lister, said that the Government had not constructed a pie: in the Belie River, 'Mr. Chapléau, in reply to Mr. Blake, said he could not at. present give the date when Sir Charles Tupper left; Ottawa to act as High Commissioner, nor the date when he returned from England to act as Minister of Railways. Sir Charles Tapper, in reply to Mr. O'Brien,sa.1d theGovernment intended to take prompt; measures to secure the con- struobion of a line from Gravenhurst no Callender. Sir Charles Tapper, in reply to Mr. Kirk, said the elevator an Balifaxwas constructed in the spring of 1883; first cargo passed through in the Hub May, 1883, and three cargoes have been shipped through it smoe.

Mr. Lees asked whether it was the inten- tion of the Government “ to take into con- sideration the claims of the Volunteers of 1837, with a. view to acknowledging such claims for their valuable services." Mr. Mowah said it was not the intention of the Government at present to take the matter into consideration. In reply to Mr. Kerns. the Minister of Education said it was not the intention of the Government to introduce any legisla- tion amending the Public School Act, by providing for the election of trustees by ballot.

All the girls think it awful funny because I don’t go with the boys when they ask me to go, I say no, I don’t want to, nor I don't intend to either. I'm not going to have it said of me when I go away. “ Well, she ran around with the fellows here until the last minute." 0h, say.

Immediately after the wedding the bride went home to her parents and kept her marriage a. secret, clandes- tinely corresponding with her lord and master, who went back to Montreal. She kept up a. correspondence with him in which she solicited money to buy wearing apparel. and expressed much affection for him. Here is one of them : But as time rolled on the girl conceived an ungovernable repugnanoe for him, sent him letters which made his hair stand on end, and positively refused to have anything to do with him. To set himself right with the public he has resorted to the doubtful expedient of publishing all her letters to him in the Prescott papers,e.nd their appearance has created quite a. sensation. ’The AttBrney-Generrerl;03 'F’Eiafi'h'éié â€"Bill respecting the Districts of Algoma and Thunder Bay.

The Berlin Post urges France to join the alliance, promising her more substantial benefits than those arising from her agree- mant with England. Dr. Busch, Under Foreign Secretary, in an article in Grenz- boten, remarks that Russia’s progress toward India is a matter of indifference to Ger many. England, he says, “is no longer our ally, but regards us with evident mis- trust." It is supposed these articles are in- dications of a diplomatic campaign against England.

John Burt and Frank Fuller, of Riley township, St. Clair County, men not over 35 years of age, became enamored of each other’s wives, and the four being all desir- ous of a. trade, they took legal advice, and finding no one could interlere, Mrs. Fuller became mistress of Burt’s household, and Mrs. Burt of Fuller’s. Such is the story of the Port Huron Times. A large fortune has been left by a Leices- ter man to Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, the cele- brated noncontormist preacher at London. Mr. Ross (Huron) dld. not agree with bthe hon. the Commissioner of Public Works. He thought theyoould draw the line. They should give widows and unmarried women the right to vote at municipal elections withoue the Parliamentary franchise. Wo' men had the right to vote when they paid taxes on property. He believed that this was one of the principal reasons why wo- men had not before been admitted to the university. They had been without the franchise. ' Mr. French moved in amendment, sec- onded by Mr. White, That the Bill be read this day three months hence. Mr. Metoalfe favored the Bill. Mr. French consented to withdraw his amendment, and the division was taken on the Bill (“ shell the Bill be read a second time ? ”) as follows : Mr. Balfour hoped the 1101:. member for North Middlesex would not withdraw his Bill. He felt convinced that it would carry 801116 day in t_he neorrfuture. Mrfireighton had introdfioed a. similarBill eight years ago. He was in accord with the hon. member from North Middleaex. He was decidedly opposed to giving a. married woman a vote. Mr. Fraser had not changed his views since a. similar Bill was introduced at a former session. He cmld not see where they would draw the line. If they gave women the franchise, as suggested, he could not see why women should not; become municipal councillors. He had nothing but an emphatic “ nayj’ for the Bill. a municipality. The reason they were so debarred was simply the question of sex. He held that this should be no barrier. If a female teacher was able to conduct a public school satisfactorily she was dis-‘ charging a great public duty, and it did not require so much talent to exercise the fran- chise at municipal elections as it did to teach a schocfl successfully.

For the last six years I have been using various medicines internally and externally, but nothing would help me. Finally I procured a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, which- oured me after a few applications.

St. Jacobs Oil is a great blessing to sufiering humanity, and I shall do everything in my power to make known its merits. Don’t go to de with your boots on.

The Nerve Vremya warns Russian mothers of a new religious sect which has given several proofs of its existence. In Rostov, on the Don, an officer engaged a middle aged nurse for his three-year-old son. She was very attentive and seemed fond of the child, but after two months she suddenly left the situation and the town. The child began to ail the very next day, lost its memory, and suflered from con- tinual drowsiness. A week later it died without having been really ill. The corpse was placed in the cotfin, when a young Jewess burst into the house, threw herself upon the dead child, and crying bitterly said: I‘The same woman poisoned my child. She was my nurse before, and now she has murdered your poor boy!" The woman spoke the truth. It has been found that in Rostov there is a society of child murderers, who poison children by means of narcotics. They are instigated to do so by a fanatical woman, who says. “ It is every woman’s duty to spare the evils of life to as many children as possible, and to make them share in the bliss of heaven be- fore the earth has contaminated their souls.

How They Educated Doctors when hot. Iluxley stolen the Study or Medicine. (From the Nineteenth Century.) It is now, I am sorry to say, something over forty years since I began my medical studies, and at that time the state otafl'ai‘rs was extremely singular. I should think it hardly possible that it could have obtained anywhere but in such a country as Eng- land, which cherishes a fine old crusted abuse as much as it does its port wine. At that time there were twenty-one licensing bodiesâ€"that is to say, bodies whose certifi- cate was received by the State as evidence that the persons who possessed that certifi- cate were medical experts. How these bodies came to possess these powers is a very curious chapter in history, on which it would be out of place to enlarge. They were partly universities, partly medi guilds and corporations. partly the Arch- bishop of Canterbury. There was no central authority ; there was nothing to prevent any of these licensing authorities from granting a license to any one upon any con- ditions it thought fit. The examination might be a sham. the curriculum might be a sham, the certificate might be bought and sold like anything in a shop; or, on the other hand, the examination might be fairly good and the diploma correspondingly valuable; but there was not the smallest guarantee, except the personal character of the people who composed the adminis- tration of each of these licensing bodies, as to what might happen. It was possible for a young man to come to London and to spend two years and six months of the time of his compulsory three years “ walking the hospitals ” in idleness or worse ; he could then, by putting himself in the hands of a judicious “ grinder 4: for the remaining six months, pass triumphantly through the ordeal of one hour’s viva. voce examination, which was all that was absolutely necessary to enable him to be turned loose upon the public like death on the pale horse, “ conquering and to conquer,” with the full sanction of the law. as a “ qualified practitioner.” It is difficult to imagine at present such a state of things, still more difficult to depict the consequences of it, because they would ap- pear like a gross and malignant caricature; but it may be said that there was never a system. or want of system, which was bet- ter calculated to ruin the students who came under it, or to degrade the protes- 81011 as a whole. My memory goes back to a time when models from whom the Bob Sawyer of the Pickwick Papers might have been drawn were anything but rare. ' ‘ ' I re- member a story was current in my young days of a great court physician who was travelling with a friend, like himself, bound on a visit to a country house. The friend fell down in an apoplectic fit, and the story ran that the physician refused to bleed him because it was contrary to professional eti- quette for a physician to perform that oper- ation. Whether the friend died or whether he got better because he was not bled I do not remember. but the moral of the story is the same. On the other hand, when a famous surgeon, irritated by the preten- sions of the physicians, was asked whether he meant to bring up his son to his own calling,"‘ No,” he said, “he is such a fool I mean to make a physician of him.” If any invalid or sick flfax-son has the least doubt of the power and e cacy of Hop Bitters to cure them, they can find cases exactly like their own. in their own neighborhood, with proof positive that they can be easily and per- manently cured Mg 3 trifling coatâ€"or ask your druggist or physician. - Gnmnnmcn, Feb. 11, 1880.
