DOMINION, PARLIAMENT:
THE SENATE.
OTTAWA, May I.—In the Senate to -day,
Hon. Mr. 'Vidal moved the third reading
,.of the Presbyterian Church Temporalities
Valid Bill. , '
Hon. Mr. Odell, after afew personal
.explanations as to the position taken by
hire in committee, expressed the opinion
that this Parliament WAS not the proper
tribunal to determine this matter, as it was
-a question .ofr, lave. He mentioned that
forty-five petitions against the Bill and only
„seyen for it had been presentbd to the
House: ,
At 6 o'elook the Speaker left the chair.
After recess,
The Bill was read a third time on a Clivi -
,Sion and passed. '
An address to Her Majesty concerning
the Irish resolutions transmitted from the
Commons was ordered „ to be taken into
•consicleration to -morrow.- '
The Senate adjourned at 11 o'clock.
OTTAWA', May 2.—The Speaker took the
•-,chair at 3 o'clock.
Upon the fleet order of the day Was the
• consideration of the address to Her Majesty,
„praying for Home Rule for Ireland and the
release of pplitibal prisoners..
Hon. Mr. Howlan rose and 'read n speech
he had preParedon'the subject. „' He stated
. that six millions of Irish had expatriated
• themselves from their country, and pro-
ceeded to account for such a startling fact
.in an overtaxed land and the want of a
peasant proprietary. Afterindalging in an
,historical retrospect, he asserted that the
imprisonment of 540 Irishmen on suspicion
showed that something was radically
wrong. He hoped that Lord Dufferin
. would succeed to the Lord-Lieuteneney of
Ireland. He concluded by moving that
the resolutions of the House. of Commons
be concurred in. .
Hon. Mr. Pewees, in supporting •the
motion, paid a graeeful compliment to what
le termed the great speechdelivered on the
subject by the leader of the Opposition in
the House of Commons. He attributed the
cause of poverty in Ireland to the nature
of the tenure by which tlae land was held._
The want of its own laws by Ireland, the
old habit -in England of ignoring, and even
.ridiouling, Irish grievances, were briefly
touched upon. He denied the argument
often advanced that Irishmen were dis-
loyal and hard to govern. ,
Hen. Mr. Read thought the resolutions
meddlesome and uncalled for, and that they
did not express the true sentiments of ' the.
majority of the people of Canada. He die.
-.claimed all intention of giving offence by
What he said, but he was determined to
speak his mind. Accounting for distress
in Ireland, he said that if the Irish worked
more and drank less whiskeythey would
be better off.
It being 6 o'clock, the Speaker left the
-chair.
After recess,
Hon. Mr. Alexander agreed with the
second speaker, •thee for them to offer,
advice to the Imperial Government was
meddlesome and injudiciods. The address
he characterized as a foolish and miserable
begotten bid for votes in the other House
on the eve of au election.. He hoped that
the House would refuse their assent to the
•address. '
Hou. Mr. Haythorrie observed thet he
had been requested by some of his Irish
constion-ete to support this address, and
although he could not , see eye to eyewith,
them, yet he hoped to show that he was a
true friend of Ireland. He -denied that
the British Parliament had not, for the
past fifty years at all events, evinced a
sincere desire to ameliorate the condition
of the Irish,' and highly eulogized Mr.
Gladstone in connection with his Irish
legislation. He concluded • by .moving in
amendtnent the following
That the paragraph of the address be
amended so as to read as follows "That
Your Majesty's subjects in the Dominion
of Canada, whatsoever be their origin,
:sympathize most earnestly ` With • their
fellow -subjects in Ireland in all., their
legitimate efforts to obtain the land they'.
occupy at fair rents, with ample security
against arbitrary ejectments ' and full
powers to diepoue of their improvements,
and they rejoice to know that these im-
portant objects are generally tettainalele
through the operation of existing legiela.
tion; that paragraphs four and five be
omitted altogether ; that paragraph' six be
amended so as to read as follows: We
would further express the hope that the
time is not far distant when it may be no
longer necessary to deprive any of Your
Majesty's subjects in Ireland of, their
liberty for political offences, and . detain
them in custody without triain due course
of law."
The debate was adjourned.
After routine, the House adjourned at 11
o'clock.

Sir John A. Macdonald said he presumed
the hongentleman hadmovedthe resolu-
tion at this period of the 'session for the
Puellose'ef expressing the opinion which he
had now done. • The GevernMent was quite
alive to the necessity of remedying the evil
to which the hongentleinatt had referred,
and were keeping eteadily in view the object
aimed at in the resolution. ,He bopedlhe

opportunity of expressing his opinion, would
not press the resolution.
- Mr. Casey Bahl that cases had come to
his knowledge in which speculators had
taken numbers of squatters into the North-
west with a view of getting hold of the best

unfair in a settler speculating as to where
a town site would likely be placed and
benefitting by the rise of value which would,
consequently take place. After some
further disopesion the resolution was with -

the leader of the Government had mad that

°Tema May 1.—The Speakeet ook the
chair at 3 o'clock.
On the.Speaker-callingthe Orders of the,
Day;
Mr. Blake asked what was the position
of a Bill introduced -by leave of the House
and read a fleet time.- He understood that -
under the rules no Bill could be introduced
in blank or in imperfect shape. • Many
members of the House were desiroueof
understanding the provisions of the Bill
for readjusting the representation. Of the
people, yet it was not in the possession of
the Clerk and no access could be obtained
to it. .
Sir John Macdonald Amid that when he,
. introduced it he went into the most minute
details regarding it. It was printed but
only in " galley " form, and could not be
distributed. They would of ' course Bee
that it was dietributed before the second
reading was called for. He though e it
would be in the hands of the members this
afternoon. ,
Mr. Blake said it was not simply that
it was not distributed, but that no access
could be had to it. When the Bill was in-
troduced it passed out of the hands of the
gentleman who introduced, it and beceme
the property of the House, He did not
understand that hon. enembeis tookcharge
of the printing of the Bills they introduced,
btit that it was left to the Clerk to attend
to. There were various reports as to what ,
the Bill contained and what the hou.
gentleman had said about it. . Various
efforts had been made to secure the Bill`
itself, but without success, and it Seemed to
him a most extraordinary thing that acme
to itshduld be 'denied. '
Sir John Macdonald said since he had
been in Parliament it had been the practice
for members introducing a Bill to endeavor
to hurry foiward the printing of it tio as to
get it ready for the use of the House. '
Mr. Blake moved a resolution respecting
Dominion land adjacent to, railway lines,
of which he had given notice, as followe
"That the present system of administering
the Dominion lands situate along the lines
of railway is likely to result practically in
the acquisition by the railway companies
of almost all the enhanced value, not

from part of Empire to another.•
Ser Tohn Macdonald- moved a oecond,
reading of . the Bill to amend- the Act to
make prevision against the improper wie
of firearms. ' He explained that under the
Act at present weapons seized had, to be
destroyed. . This Was to provide that they
should be handed, over for the use of the
inunieipelity. It was intended also to
extend the provisions Of the 4.ot to air guns
and pistols, - ; • " ,
Sir I:Jelen Macdonald moved a segond
'feeding Of the Bill to .amend and further
continue in fierce for a limited time an Act
respecting the administration of orumnal
justice in the'territory in dispute between
the Governments of Provinces of °nett,
rio and Manitoba. ' • , '
Mr. Blake pointed out that there, was no
suely.A.ot as that proposed to be continued
in force. There was ati-Acit respecting the
administration of rieinainal jtifitiCe• in the
territory in dispute lietween the G-overne
manta of Ontario' and the Dominion.: He
suggested that the title .of . the Bill' eltould
be changed..
Mr.. Caron Moved .the.second reading of
the Bill to amend the Acte respecting the
Militia • and -Defence of " 'Canada. He
explained that instead. Of having enrol-
ment every five years as at present, it Was:
intended to have enrolment only at such
times as might be directed by the Governor-
General in Canticle._ ,

'Method in Iffousestrorlr.
Do women ever think how much time
they spend in1 picking up and putting away?
Of course we do not mean to intimate that
t. is wasted, or that all this labor is done
unnecasarily. Women have. a vaet amount
of such work to perform, and few Men
realize its extent,or its necessity, until
some accident or circumstance brings it
home to them. 'A married min said once
that he never realized theamountof work
done in bringing things out and putting
them away until he happened to sit idly;
watohing the operation of eetting the table,
"getting tea," as it was called, at a neigh-
bor's,house, washing the dishes' and clear-
ing them away. It struck him for the first
time how much real labpr bade° be done
in lifting and carrying, between table and
-pantry, and pantry and kitchen, and he
determined to lessen .such labor in his
house, as much as possible, by constructing
kiteleen withevery faciltyand conveni-
ence. He thought, with a sort of consterna-
tion, if one "tea '' requires that amount of
labor, what must the work of a house for a
lifetime amount toe—very pretty problem,
which we should like to tie° enswerel. •
The Langtry
- The Langtrybonnet already appears this
side of the Atlantio,thoughharcily six weeks
out in London. The small, shallow 'shape,
with high front allowing a band wreath of
full-blown, roses, above the forehead, is the
shape worn by Mrs. Langtry on the stage as
Miss Hardcastle, in .the play "She Stoops
to Conquer." It is not unbecoming; but
after the bonnets which .were all crowns,
this, which is all brim, looks as if the back
had been neatly shaved off in an-aceident.
Sleep for Children.
There 'is no danger that children oan
sleep too much. The old- proverb, "Who
sleeps eats," is illustrated in those little
ones who sleep most. " Wakeful children are
always peevish, irritable and lean. If they
can be induced be sleep abundantly they are
, quite likely to become good-natured and
plump. Their sleep should be AS much
during the hours of darkness as possible,
and therefore it is better that they should
go to bed before sunset to have their sleep
out, than to sleep long after sunrise in the
morning.. It is well to let any healthful,
growing child or young person I sleep until
he wakes himself, and then give him , such
a variety and amount of out -door exercise
as shall make him' glad when bedtime
returns. ' . •

Starting Plants tor Summer Use.
It very frequently happens that a plant
meets with a misfortune in winter. Some
of its branches are broken off. We do not.,
like to throw them away. It is not neces-
sary to do so. They may be cut hp into
slips and new plants started for use in the
garden next summer. Most amateurs seem
to think that it ts a difficult matter to start
plants from cuttings. It is not. It is one of
the easiest things about the cultivation of
plants. If you put a cutting in a pot and

Ile Knew the' Witness.- -
I was intrusted with a brief by a rather
shady attorney, and being at that time
without experience, I yielded implieitly
his 'instructions. A. young gentleman
was -called as a . witness. My , client
suggested a question. Blindly I put
it, and was Met by a direct negative.
"What a He 1" ejaculated my' client, and
dictated another question: . The sanae result
followed, and a similar ejaculation. By his _
further instruction I put a third, the
anise/er to which completely knocked us„
over. MY . client threw himself back.
"Well," said he, "he is a 'ler' he . always '
was a liar, and always willbe a liar."
"Why," remarked 1, "you seem to know
itll about him." "01 course I de," was the
reply, "he is my own son." --Sergeant
