Mr. Harcourt—To incorporate the Nia- gara Falls Park and Queenston Electric Railway and Steamboat Company. Mr. Speaker presented to the House the certificate of election ot Mr. W. Harty, the new member for Kingston. • The House went into Committee SA the Whole on Mr. Mowat'si Bill respecting the Law of Mortmain, Mr. Awrey in the chair. Three clauses were passed with slight verbal changes. Mr. Meredith objected to the provisions Of the fourth .clause, which make it incum- bent upon executors to • sell real estate be- queathed for charitable purposes before the expiration of one year. He suggested that the land might be sold to better advantage by extending the limit of time. Mr. Mowat said the bill was similar to the one paised by the Imperial Parlia- ment, but he had no objection to making the period two years. The clause was thus passed and the committee asked leave to sit aarlaryand' table issued in connection with public institutions and charities since and inclusive of 1881 and 1891. This motion was at the instance of the Public Accounts Committee. Mr. Gibson said that he did not promise on behalf of the department that the infor- mation could be laid before the committee all at oonas once. The information wodid be given as spossible.' • Mr. Mowat moved the House into com- mittee on a bill to amend the law relatin to mortmain and charitable uses • Mr. Hardy moved the House. g into com- mittee on a bill to incorporate the Associa- tion of Ontario Land Surveyors. The bill was carried as amended. ZialLTuariante moved the House into Corn - Mr. Meredithaekrey in the chair. had done occasional work for ine'-san in - General's Department as clerk, had not be dismissed on account of irregularitien. Mr. Gibson admitted that there had been clerical irregularitiesnf bookkeeping, but n defalcations. Mr. Ross spoke at length -upon the item of $241,776.92 for grants to Public and Sep arate schools for 1892. Mr. McColl thought the grant to Public schools was so hedged around with stipule tions that, in the case of the constituency which he represented, the grant would aid those schools which needed it least. Mr. Bush said that, judging from th report , of the Minister of Education, to much attention was being given to highe education. Mr. Ross desired to state in contradiction to a generally accepted belief that the fifth form was not abolished in the Publi Schools. He admitted that teachers wer underpaid, but it was useless to blame the Government. They did not regulate the salaries. The reason that teachers did no remain longer in their proteasion was doubt ess by reason of their scanty salaries. The committee passed th'e items under th head of "Education," in all aznounting t 8655,826. 92. Mr. McMahon asked if the return relativ • to .trust corporationswas to be brough down soon? Mr. Gibson said that several sessiona writers were at work on the matter, and i would be down in a few 'days. Mr. Meredith moved for .copies of the • order -in -council far the appointment of a commission as to the proposed forest reser vation and park in • the Nipissing district of the commission- issued in pursuance thereof, and the instructibns to the com- missioners. He conceivedthe object to be one of the most important that could en- gage the attention of the Legislature. ' Mr' . Hardy, in reply, tiaid that the scope and objects of the commission were not as comprehensive, nor perhaps, was the forest park or reservation, as contemplated, o that extent or magnitude whicla would be implied from the remarks of the hon. gen- tlerean. The reservation was situated south of the Mattawe, River, and north of Hali burton. • It lay within the district bounded on the east by Parry Sound and on the west by the Ottawa River. It comprised fifteen or twenty townships, more or less. There were, perhaps; six' eight or ten of these townships whichcontained within their boundaries a number and variety of small lakes. The whole surface was dotted with •small lakes. They were the fountain heads of several rivers which flowed east and west. It was thought that as these town- ships were practicallyunsettled and to a conaiderable extent unfit for agricultural purposes, the pine having been taken off most of them, it would be in the interests of the province to establish what might be called a park or forest reservation to answer several purposes, firet, so as to secure for all future time the supply of rain- fall which naturally followed forest reserva- tions. Mr. Meredith moved for a return of copies of the case submitted for the opinion of the Court of Appeal as to the validity of the local option provisions of the Municipal Act, and of the opinions of the judges of the said court thereon, and of the judgment pro- nounced by the court in the premises. Mr. Meredith moved for correspondence on the subject of the fusion of the several divisions of the High Court of Justice and of changes in the practice of the said court. Mr. Hardy moved that Mr. Barr, the newly -elected member for North Renfrew, be added to the Committees on Municipal Law and Standing Orders, and that Mr. Harty, the newly -elected member for King- ston, be added to the Committees on Rail- ways and Private Bills. Mr. Meredith asked that the motion lie laid over till Monday. There were no Com- mittees on that day. Mr. Hardy had no objection, matter stands. again. ' Mr. Waters presented a petition of the • Council of the township of McGillivray, praying against the repeal of section 30 of the Municipal Act respecting 100 -feet • bridges. • Several other petitions on single tax, con- tract labor on public works, personalty assessment and temperance legislation were presented. • Mr..Gibson presented the second report of • the -Committee on Standing Orders. Mr. Mowat's Bill to further amend the Act respecting mortgages on personals pro- perty was read a first time. • In answer to • a question by Mr. Meredith, he ex- plained that the Bill dealt with the regis- tration of preference claims, chattel mort- gages and other anomalies of the present law. Mr. McKay (Victoria)—A Bill to amend the Act respecting the township of Harvey, in the county of Peterboro'. Mr. Davis—An Act , t� •incorporate the Ontario Ship Railway Company. • Mr. Marter moved for an address to IIis nor the Lieutenant -Governor, praying th t he will cause to be laid before this II se a return' showing : 1. The quantity ,of me in nlicensed territory disposed of since last session. 2. The persons to whom the same was sold, and the quantity sold to each of such persons. • 3. The prices at which each sale was effected,. 4. The terms and conditions of the sales. 5. The purchase money paid, and the amount, if any, re- maining unpaid, giving the name of each purchaser any part of whose purchase money is paid, and the amount unpaid by him. 6. Copies of the Orders -in -Council authorizing the sales, and the repOrts and other material on which the same were leased. He said that he did not desire to speak at length op the question, DI4 it ex- plained' itself. Mr. Hardy paid that there was no reason why a return should not be brought down. He ex'plained that no other timber but pine had been disposed of, and that the money had been paid in the same manner as tim- ber dues. 1or instance, in the case of tim- b cut this winter, the bonus and dues d be paid next September. Ir. McKay (Oxford) moved the second reading of the bill to amend clause 30 of the Municipal Act. This clause is the one that refers to 100 -feet bridges, and makes them a charge upon 'County Councils. ,Mr. Meredith 'said that the bill was too important to be taken up at this stage of the session, and that he considered it wrong to veil such important legislation by simply introducing a a bill to repeal a clause. He wanted the bill laid over for a few days. DIRS. SMITH GOT THE Co Rut She Rad to be Convinced That it Was ."` Dear, get some coal," said Mrs. Smith.

It was Christmas Eve, 1884. I was sit- ting in the waiting-roorn on the Canadian Pacific Railroad, waiting for the cars to come. • Presently they came rumbling in. I asked the porter if it was the night train for Brandon. He said yes. So I put my trunk in, and got in myself. I heard the bell go, and we were off. I laid myself down on the seat and fell asleep in a jiffy. It was not until, 5 e'cloek the nethsmorning that I was awakened by the stepping of the train. I got up and -asked' what was the matter. They said.they did not know, so I looked out of the window and I could see in a minute we were in a gorge between two rocky mountains, and that further, on was a curve round the peak. A Yankee who was lying down said : " Shall we get out ?" `:. We cannot," said I, " we are on the and askeu eiseeree `between two 'rocky "Why," said the Cob— we got into this gorge I saw souse _ coming over the peak to this side. guessed in d niinute it was the smoke of an engine eo I whistled, and then shiinted, and when I got back a few yards I saw her coming round the peak.

I have in mind a hotel in Scotland where the drill of the fire brigade is a pert of every week's ,work. • The alarm is given at different hours of the day and night, geests always being notified in advance and often assisting. At a givensignal clerks, waiters, hall boys, chambermaids, etc., drop what- ever they may be doing and rush to their posts, going through whatever task is set for them. Such discipline as this should be rectuired of every hotel in this country. To permit the erection of such enormous structures as now disfigure the streets, from which escapels impossible in the eyent of fire,and not to hold hotel keepers re- sponsile for the safety of guests, is thsant a premium on manslaughter.

Gladstone's Antecedents. Edwin Arnold says: On the male and, female side equally it is Scotland that boasts the gift. of Gladstone to his country's history. It was a Clydesdale family that bred him, a line of Lairds holding large estates in the 16th century. From these sprang some prosperous maltsters, father and SOD, who settled at Lanark, and had among their descendants corn merchants' that naigrated to Leith, one of whom, `John, became wealthy and important and marriesi, a Robertson, of Dingwall, in Orkney, which lady is proudly traced in our peerage books to Bruc an nockburn, so that Scotland' owns,' ss I say, both channels of Mr.' Gladstone's blood. John Gladetone was a great friend of the famous George Canning, whom Mr. Gladstone must , often have seen atlis father's table. In fact, it was there, and under Canning's im- mediate , influence, that he imbibed those early Tory principles—never really rooted out from his nature—which, made • him at the beginning -of his career the glory and the hope of the Church and Conserva- tive party. • At Eton he got his Greek and Latin, and got them so thoroughly, with the help of three studious years following at Oxford, that when I have once or twice dared secretly to test him in capping Greek and Roman hexameters from the "Iliad" and "Odyssey" or Virgil. I have been perfectly abashed and astonished at the • superior ran,ge and\ grasp of his acholastic memory. At the uniVersity he took a high degree, and ofttimes flashed the sword of his maiden eloquence in `the Union Debating Society. • Theism also he derived and deepened those High Church principles that have always draped them- selves like an intellectual alb and chasuble over the shifting garments of his later opinions. Indeed, his mind took so strong a bent ecclesiastically that he had seriously designed himself at one time for the church, and would probably 'have become , Arch- bishop of Canterbury if Canning had not put • him into the pocket borough of Newark.
