Any hopes which the more sanguine may have entertaint‘ul will now be crushed by the circumstance that a bill to renew the mmlzu I‘I'I'V'th, which has regulated the action of the Canadian author- ities for the last two years, has been intro- dueed into the House at Ottawa. This in» strument prorides for the granting oflieens- es to fishing Vessels of the United States, enabling them to enter any port of the Dominion of (‘anada for the purpose of pun chasing bait, ice, seines, lines and all other supplies and outfits ; also, for the trauship- ment of the catch and the shipping of crews. Formerly the fee was the old treaty figure of $150, but according to the present bill the subject of fees, terms and conditions is left to the Governor-tlcneraldn-(‘ouneil. It would appear from the report of Com» mandcr Gordon that the licenses are appre- ciated by the Americans, who without the privileges there undergranted, could not profitably pursue certain kinds of tishin j; for instance, fresh halibut fishing on the Grand Banks. lle points out, however, that the modus rivendi is not accepted by them generally as a concession. 'l‘hey claim the opportunity to buy supplies at Canadian ports as a right sezured under commercial treaties opening the ports of each country to the ships of the other; that is to say, they do not concede the contention of their rul- ers, but as the practical results to them are about the same whether the privilege is granted by concession or is recognized as a right, they don't seem to think it worth while to waste time in parleying about a mere sentiment. flow to Punish Drunkenness. That we have attained unto perfection in the matter of dealing with our criminals is a proposition which few will he ‘ash enough to aliirm. Certainly much has been done during?r the past half century or more to- wards eliminating the inhuman element from the punislnnent, though it is not so clear that we have not taken away much of the deterrent element as well. Any one who has followed up the police records of any of our principal cities, will not have failed to notice the frequency with which the thirty days' sentence for drunkenness is pronoune» ed, and in how many cases it is the same person who goes up again and again. “ From eighteen years’ experience,” says Governor Green, of York County (laol, “1 am perâ€" suaded that the thirty days’ sentence for drunkenness is a curse to the city. It would he a vast improvement to give ‘ drunks ’ five or ten days in solitude for a first offence, and hard labor after that. The gaol is so comfortable and the intercourse of the prisoners so little like punishment that a lot of the prisoners say, ‘ \Vell, it’s not such a had place to go to.’ ” Now, if, instead of being allowed to mingle with one another and to entertain each other with their coarse jokes, they were kept fo ‘ a couple of weeks in solitary confinement, or obliged to bend their backs to heavy toil, they would soon come to look upon the prison as a place to he sedulously shunned, and would no doubt take hetter care not to place themselves under the power of the law. It is to be hoped, therefore. that the movement now on foot to ask the Government to build a wingr to the gaol and experiment therein on the system of sopa ‘ation in confinement, may succeed, and that the experiment may have afair trial. “A town governed by women” is the novel announcement which comes from l‘ldgerton, Kansas, Where, after a most hotly contested campaign, the women’s ticket was elected. the entire Municipal Council being chosen from among the fair daughters. ()utsidcrs, unacquainted with the conditions of the election, will be curious to know what were the causes that conspired to produce such an unusual result. Do the female voters out- number their fathers and brothers, or are the latter so much in sympathy with the new movement that they are willing to hand ()V ,r to their wives and sisters the control of public allitirs 2‘ (jun it be that this is only a concession on the part of the sterner s designed to teach the enthusiastic and m '- confident ladies that there are other things they can do with greater success than man- ag‘ a Municipal Council? However their 7 tory may be explained. whatever the influences that have contributed thereto, it is beyond question that these seven women have come into a tremendous responsibility so far as the cause of female sufl‘rztge is concerned. ’I‘heir success or failure will have a very far reaching influence upon the modern politi to] movement. Meantime the public will watch the experiment with deep interest, and, no doubt, with varied feel- ings.

The gates of the delnesne are hut a short distance from the station of the same name on the line between Berlin and Hamburg. Vl‘here is nothingr monumental or al‘ehitectur» ally grand almuh the house itself. The two wings, built at right angles, of which it con- sists, are externally as here of ornament as a lmrraek. A magnificent lawn, thickly dotted with een’cenarian trees, leads to the front entrance. An enormous tun-L of mea» dow land extends behind the house as far as the eye can reach, where it, joins the Saehsen- Wald (Saxon forest.) Not a flower or paw/r é; anywhere, and deep, deep silence reigns around. But if the walls and ceilings are bare, not so the floor, which is thickly carpeted every- where. ’assing through the hall one enters a second, somewhat less freezing, which leads to a room where the Chancellor tran» saetshis business with less familiar callers. The first thing that strikes the visitor is a large pastel portrait of Lord Beaconsfield, with the statesman’s name written under- neath in Prince Bismarek’s sprawling:r hand. Facing it hangs a duplicate of Bonnat’s famous portrait of Adolphe ’l‘hiers. In a corner stands a bronze bust of Count von Moltke, who looks as though he had been honueted by a too enthusiastic admirer, for the laurel crown with which he is com}; de- scends low down upon his forehead ; above this a nmgniiieent likeness in oil of Prince- Cardinal Hohenlohe. 0n the inantelpieee on one side is a reproduction of the statue of the (lrand Elector (Frederick the Hreat‘s grandfather) by Sehluter, on the other a plaster east of an equestrian statue supposed to he the original port ‘ait of Charlemagne. The simplicity of the interior is in thor- ough keeping:’ with the harem ss of the ex- terior. The enormous hall is like it couple 01 hospitule wards thrown into one, with whitewashed \ 'iLlls, without {Lstuecn cornice or it centre ornament on the ceilings, it few gigantic antlers here and there, lilef-zLâ€"dozen wooden chaiis, and a tahle without at table- cloth.

A glazed eahinet, full of (:arahines and pistols, another full ()f maps, a round table, and three chairs, and that is all. Of course the reception rooms and private apartments of the rest of the family are of a less Spartan character, but in those of the prince himself the ornamental has had to yield absolutely to the useful. \Vith the exception of music, l’rinee Bis» marek is utterly indifferent to art.

In one of the recesses is a more modern writing table, above which Hangs the portrait of the late Emperor.
