The following Bills were inttodneed and read a drat Respecting the Ontario Pacific Jimetion Hadvf.aY 100 --Mr- HYhert. To mcerporate the Manufacturer& Acci- dent Insurance Co--1dr- Mr. Thompson, replying to Mr. Mc- Mullen, etated that it was the intention of the Government to distribute to justices of the peace an abridgement of the Revised Statutes containing the criminal law, the cost being about one-fifth of the Revised Statutes. Mr. White (Cardwell), replying to Mr. Mallory, said Rufus Stephenson was in the employ of the Government as Inspector of Colonization Companies at a salary of $3,000 and travelling expensee, the same as those allowed for other employees inollani. toba and the Northwest. Sir Charles Tupper, replying to Mr. McMullen, stated that tlaree-quartersof the accounts connected with the revision of the voters' lists were paid, and the remainder would be paid within a few days. Sir John Macdonald, replying to Mr. Rinfret, said the Lieutenant -Governor of Quebec had tendered his resignation on account of ill -health. He had not asked for leave of absence nor been granted it. The resignation had not yet been accepted. Sir Charles Tupper, replying to Mr. Mitchell, who asked for facts relating to Reciprocity negotiations, said everything possible was being done bythe Govern- ments of Canada and Britain to settle the fishery question and promote Reciprocity, but declined at present to make public any particulars. Mr. Thompson, replyingto Mr. Choquette, said the salaries of Revising -officers were not yet fixed, but would be shortly. Mr. Amyot asked whether the Govern- ment pro.pesed to take any steps to protect the Dominion from attacks of the cholera now raging in South Amerioe.. Mr. Carling said quarantine would be enforced against all ship e coming from South America, whether on the Atlantic or the Pacific side. If any vessel were found infected she would be detained in quaran- tine. Mr. Amyot said that yesterday the Minister of Militia (Sir Adolphe Caron) had stated that the reason for ordering the 9th Battalion, of which he was Colonel, to discontinue drill was given in letters to him (Mr. Amyot). This was not so. The battalion, after being called out to drill, had been ordered to stop without a word of explanation and had later been ordered to resume, also without explanation. They were treated in a harsh and grossly insult- ing way. He had asked also whether the whole roport of Major-General Strange on the 9th Battalion had been published in full, and the reply was in the affirma- tive. But Major-General Strange had, published a letter in the press declar- ing that there were parts of his reports which were not published. He (Mr. Amyot) himself had sent in, at the request of the Department, a report of the opera- tions of the 9th Battalion in the North- west, but this had never appeared, and the 65th also had been almost completely ignored. Twenty years hence, people read.- ing the reports of how the rebellion was put down would hardly know that there had been two French Canadian regiments engaged in the Northwest. The 9th were cut up into five detachments and distributed to posts of danger among the most danger- ous Indians of the Northwest. They had come home amidst applause, had been crowned with wreaths and received with open arms, but since he (Mr. Amyot) had differed from the hon. Minister on the Riel question his regiment had been insulted and oppressed. Sir Adolphe Caron denied that he had persecuted or insulted the 9th Battalion, and charged that Mr. Amyot had himself insulted the French volunteers by declar- ing that they were fit only to take care of provisions and forts. He had been forced to produce the correspondence between Mr. Amyot and himself by an order of the House. The House went into Committee of Sup. ply. On the item of $90,000 for experimental farms, Sir Richard Cartwright asked what was done with the $30,000 voted last year, and what was proposed to be done with the $90,000. Mr. Carling said that a farm of 460 acres had been purchased near Ottawa for $65,000. There were no buildings of any account on the land. It was intended to establish experimental farm stations, one in the Maritime Provinces, one in Mani- toba, one in the Northwest and one in British Columbia. It was expected that the cost of site, buildings, stock and machinery for the farm near Ottawa would be 4160,000. After remarks from Mr. Sproule, Mr. Semple and Mr. Gigault, the item passed. On the item of £20,040 sterling, Canada's contribution to the Imperial Institute, Sir Charles Tupper explained that it was intended to use the grounds at South Ken- sington, which had been used for the. Inchon and Colonial Exhibition. Impos- ing lmildings would be erected, one.half of , which would be allotted to the Colonies and India. It was intended that the institute Should furnish information as to the pro- ducts and industries of the British Empire. He had stated clearly to the Prince of. Wales and other heads of the Instimie that £20,000 would be Canada's entire centri- bution. Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Mallory expressed entire disapproval of the scheme. On the item of $229,525 for immigration, Sir Richard Cartwright urged the aboli- tion, or at all events the great reduction, of the expenditure under this head. Sir Chars Tupper charged the Opposi- tion with want of patriotism. The debate wascontmued by, Sir Richard Cartwright, Mr. Charlton and. Mr. Brown. Mr. Paterson (Brant) said the want of patriotism should be laid at the doors of the present Government, who had pieced obstacles in the path of the progress of the country and had placed it an a disad- vantage as cOmpered with the United 8 States, a cotintry with inferior natural advantages. The items relating to immigration and quarantine were passed after a long discus- sion and the gone° adjourned at 1.20. Bill to incorporate the Teeswater & Lake /liven Railway Company. (From the Senate.) Mr. Foster laid on the table additional papers ;elating to the Rehriog Sea SelZUXSS. The House Went 4.4t9 connnittee of °PPn tla. 0 e hem militia, $1,286,000, -Mr'? Penis= dreW ettentioo to several reeemmendations In the Bfaior.tionerai'e report with which he could not agree. The report recommended that all officers of permanent corps should be senior in rank to other militia officers. He objected strongly to the idea. It was a slavish fol. lowing of the English system, while the condition of tl2e two forces was entirely dissimilar. In England there were the volunteers, the militia and the regular army. Here we had only the militia. In England it was not intended and for two or three hundred years the practice had not been followed, that militia or volunteers should be used in foreign service, although it was not the standing army that laid the foundation of England's greatness in the battles of Cressy, Poictiers and Agincourt. Yet in all modern wars in which England was engaged the standing army alone was sent to do the fighting. In England, there- fore, the officere of the permanent force had thebenefit of experience, which was denied to the officers of militia and volunteers,and that might justify the regulation there, but here it was entirely different. The moment there was any trouble here, calling for mili- tary aid, the Canadian militia. turned out and served alongside of the permanent corps wherever they might be required. The militia officers of Canada niade great sacri- fices for the force. They spent their time and their means and did everything they could to further its interests. On theother hand the permanent officers had good pay and were well looked after, and there was no reason why they should have any preference: Again, the Major-General ad- vocated the enlargement of the regular forge and a corresponding decrease in the militia as a. step necessary to maintain a proper system of defence. 'He (Mr. Denison) thought that exactly the opposite course should be pursued. The schools should be cut down to the smallest possible limit consistent with supplying the necessary instruction. Of what earthly use would be a standing army of one or two thousand men in the event of trouble with our neighbors to the south? Of no use at all. On the other hand, if we had a militia force of one hundred thou ' sand men it could, by increasing the service rollof every company from 42 to 125, be enlarged to three hundred thousand, a force which would be of great service to us in an emergency. In Europe the idea was to go in for armed nations, and in his judgment that was the proper course for us to follow. We,should endeavor in every way possible to infuse a military spirit into the people. The military force should be at once in- creased to 50,000, and should be drilled for at least sixteen days in each year. The idea ought to be scouted of going backwards by reducing our strength. He did not think it was to the interests of a young country like Canada to have a large standing army. We could not afford to have any drones in the hive. But by a moderate amount of drilling we could have a large force which would be available and useful at short notice. It was tanderstpod at Confedera- tion that one million dollars would be spent annually on the militia, and he clic] not think it was fair that when reductions any- where were found necessary this appropria. tion should suffer. He hoped the Minister would not be guided by the report of the Major-General, and that he would not per. mit injustice to be done to the Canadian militia by giving regular officers special rank over them. Mr. O'Brien said he quite agreed with the last speaker in his criticism of the evident intention on the part of some of those in authority to place the permanent corps in a position different from that of the militia. He strongly objected to any- thing being done •which would make the permanent force anything more than that which it was intended from the first to be, a school of instruction. Sir Adolphe Caron said he agreed with Mr. Denison that a standing army would be altogether out of place in this country. The permanent corps was intended merely for instructional purposes, and its useful- ness had been shown in the number of trained men who were turned out every year to render valuable services to the country. He did not place the same inter- pretation on the report of the Major-Gen- eral as Mr. Denison had done. The Gen- eral did not wish to replace our militia systern by a permanent army, and he was sure that suoh views would not be enter- tained by Parliament. The item passed. Orr the appropriation for the Military College at Kingston, Sir Richard Cartwright asked for infor- mation with regard to the fine of $100 imposed on those cadets who had taken service in the Imperial army. Sir Adolphe Caron said that matter had been referred to the Minister of Justice for an opinion as to the legality of the fine, and his opinion was that the authorities had a perfect right to impose a fine on those cadets who had entered the Imperial service. ' Mr. Denison trged the Government to consider the advisability of giving four cadets at the head of the graduating class of the Royal Military College each year employment in the Civil Service of Canada. If that were done it would encourage those who passedthrough the college, and would be an advantage in that way to the country. He believed the first four cadets received commissions in the regular army, and it might be optional whether they would take such a commission or else could go into the Civil Service of Canada. Mr. Jones concurred in the views ex- pressed by Mr. Denison. Sir Adolphe Caron said if Mr. Jones, when Minister of Militia,theld the view he had expressed, that policy had been pretty well followed by this Government. Some of the cadets of the Royal Military College were at present employed in the Militia Department; others had received corn - missions in the permanent corps or Mounted Police. Sir Richard Clurtwright said he under- tood Sir Adolphe Caron had made the elections himself. What Mr. Denison and Mr. Jones lied suggested was that these appointmals be offered as prizes. The item passed. The follpwing Bills were reed a third time a nd passed : To incorporate the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital—Mr. McCarthy.

On item drill shedsand rifle ranges $10 000 Mr. Denison inquired whether or not an anionnt would be Placed in the sulk' inentarY eatirnate8 kr the 4.411 811P at Tnrolite. Sir Adolphe Caron said when the 8IMPle- rneotary eatimatee came down he thought it would be found that Toronto had not been forgotten. Mr. Kenny inquired if it was intended to enlarge the drill Shed at Halifax. Sir Adolphe Caron aid it was impos- sible out of the money voted to provide every place with drill sheds, and he feared nothing could be done for Halifax this year. On the item $11,000 for the Halifax ex. tension of the Intercolonial Railway, Mr. Jones criticized the management of the Intercolonial and objected to the appro- priation. Mr. Ronny complimented the Govern- ment on what it had done to promote the interests of Canada, including those of Nova Scotia. He (Mr. Kenny) was a Cana- dian, and we should have no national ex- istence without the Intercolonial Railway. He wondered if hie colleague was a Cana. dian. Mr. Jones—No. Mr. Kenny—.I regret to hear the hon. gentleman say that. Mr. Jones—I am a Canadian by Act of Parliament. After considerable discussion on the ap- propriation for the Intercolonial Railway the item was passed. Sir Charles Tupper presented a special report on the fisheries protection service. Sir Charles Tupper drew attention to a despatch in the Mail to -day purporting to give the substance of an interview between hignself and Secretary Bayard during his 'recent visit te Washington. He wished to say that itatementa in the despatch were not only incorrect, but were in almost every particular quite the -reverse of the truth. A New Pet /or the Baby. From Florida comes a suggestion in answer to the question, How shall I amuse the baby ?" Give him a baby alliga- tor to play with. The little creatures are great pets with children, who are not afraid to take them in their hands and to their bosoms, or lay them against their cheeks with loving caresses as they would a doll or pet kitten. Theyale a cheap plaything, costing but 75 cents, ad are very moderate in their wants. A smell tub, half filled with water, and a boardlaid, slanting wise —with one end in the weterr•upon which they can creep up and suothemselves—and twice a week a bit of beef the size of an English walnut, is all they require to sustain existence domfortably. A cheap pet and a charming one, the children think, who every year take hundreds of them north in perforated boxes. The first pos- session of them is a great delight to their small owners, who in their extravagant ad. mirations take them out of their boxes in the hotel -rooms and allow them to run about freely. The lively little reptile, with his cunning head uplifted and black eyes peering curiously about, has a trick of darting suddenly and disappearing instan- taneously, under the Meld careful watch- ing. He has also a fondeass for a warm berth, and is more than likely, to 'turn up, upon search, in the folds of lithy's frock, or, if the infant be asleep, cozily nestled about the little one's neck, witlilis.yeinted head rooted underthe Plump chin. Should baby chance to waken he will laugh‘end coo and clutch at his slippery cradle mate, who will slip away from the little fingers as if they were greased. Children have no repugnance to the young " 'gater ;"'en the contrary, they love them and encourage their familiarities and are never tired of watching their droll, secretive ways.—Was1i4ton—Post. Why She Wished to Get Married. Constance is very young, but she is also better worth quoting than most grown people. Her envy was somewhat aroused by the fact that a wedding' was about to take place in the family of her little play- mate, and "that the playmate thereby had the advantage of her; so she remarked, very complacently, to her little friend's mamma: "Mrs. ---, did you know that I was en- gaged to be married ?" "Why, no, Conny. Is that so?" "Yes, ma'am; I'm engaged to Fritz Ward" (small boy of her acquaintance). "He doesn't know it, but I've got to ex- plain it to him." "Well, Cony, do you expeot to he mar- ried soon ?" "Well, I hope so. The fact is, Pm tired of being spanked, and I thinkw,e'll be mar- ried very soon."---Harper's Magazine. A Shower of Black Bain. Lucius Boyd, of Boydville, Queen's County, publishes in the Dublin Express to- day the following singular particulars: A very strange atmospherical phenomenon was witnessed in Castlecomer and the sur- rounding district for about four miles on Saturday night. A general depression was felt all over the district at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, accompanied by lightning and thunder and a tremendous rainfall, which oontinued till about 7 o'clock. More lightning was then apparent, and at 7.30 the town of Castlecoroer seemed to be en- veloped in a thick black cloud. Animals were frightened, dogs rushed to and fro in a wild and frantic state. At about 7.50 a thick black rain fell, sufficiently black to stain any white cloth, and apparently im- pregnated with an insoluble dust. The water of the local streams and cisternewns discolored, and in many places could not be used for domestic purposes.—Pall Mall Gazette. Annual Military Drill. The militia general orders issued yester- day contain regulations for the annual drill. The maximum number of men in twelve districts to receive pay is 20,255. City corps may be permitted to perform twelve day's annual drill at their loes.1 eadquartem prior to December.

PerotY-five miles across the country that ;al:Muer had Parried the dead babe in 1:lip arnni. I talked with him and heard hiS,„sOrY. It Was this; 'A year or more ago he had begun a correspondence with a youog woman in Chicago, getting her address from a inatri. menial paper. The result was an ex- change of pho' tographs and finally mar- riage. The girl went to live with him on his ranch, but the lonely life there did not suit the city girl, and a few weeks after the birth of her babe she ran away to Chicago, leaving husband and child behind her, There was no woman on the ranch, and the rough father did the best he could to rear the child. I have no doubt that he was tender and attentive—in fact, he said he neglected his stook and did nothing else but care for his child—but, robed of 'its mother's care, the little one sickened and died. " ' My life seemed to go out with that 'ar little one,' said the rancher, in his rough way,' an' when she died I cried like a woman. Then my heart rose in anger against the mother, and I felt that I could kill her. It seemed to me that 'ar babe would be alive an' amilin' an' moire to -day if her mother had not deserted her. Then says I to myself, r11 be avengedt And so I wrapped the poor little one in a blanket, jumped on my horse and came here.

"He actually procured a little coffin and laid the babe in it, after kissing the white face again and again, and cutting a few locks of the golden hair from the little round head. There were no tears in his eyes—he seemed to be past that—but as he turned away from the railway station, where he had shipped the body to an address in Chicago which I shall not give, he appeared to me to be the most broken-hearted man I'd ever seen. "In five minutes he came running back, seized the little box, and exclaimed: "'No, no! I can't do it. Give me my little 'un. Keep the money, but give me my little girl.' "Before the station agent could say a word the man had put the box on his shoulder and run away. Five minutes later we saw him on his horse, the box in his arms, galloping back to his ranch."— Chicago Herald. Solomon's Judgment. The London Academy gives the following as " Solomon's Judgment in Chinese:" Two women came before a mandarin in China, each of them protesting that she was the mother of a little child they had brought with them. They were so eager and so positive that the mandarin was sorely puzzled. He retired to consult with his wife, a wise and clever woman, whose opinion was held in great repute in the neighborhood. . She requested five minutes in which to deliberate. At the end of that time she spoke: "Let the servants catch me a large fish in the river, and let it be brought here alive." This was done. "Bring me now the infant," she said,. "but leave the women in the outer cham- ber." Thiswas done, too. Then the mandarin's wife caused the baby to be undressed and its clothes put on the large -fish. "Carry the creature outside now and throw it into the.river in the sight of the two women." The servant obeyed her orders, flinging the fish into the water, where it rolled about and struggled, disgusted, no doubt, by the wrapping in which it was swaddled. Without a moment's pause, one of the mothers threw herself into the river with a shriek. She must save her drowning child. "Without doubt she is the true mother," she declared; and the mandarin's wife commanded that she ehould be rescued and the child given to her. And the mandarin nodded his head, and thought his wife the wisest woman in the Flowery Kingdom. Meanwhile the false mother crept away. She was found out in her imposture, and the mandarin's wife forgot all about her in the occupation of donning the little baby in the best silk she could find in her wardrobe. How the Girl Graduates Dress. Fashion's dictum this year for com- mencement dresses is all white. The de- signs for making are simple and girlish, and the favorite garniture is ribbon. There are bows on the shoulders, the waist, on the sleeves, supporting skirt draperies and sashes, and they are draped diagonally across the front, sides or back and finished at the ends in graceful flote. Lace is a favorite material, point d'esprit, platt, Val, and Fedora being much used. Point d'esprit dresses often have a floanct at the bottom of the skirt and the lower part of the drapery bordered with rows of narrow satin or mire ribbon set above a deep hem. A pretty idea is to make these dresses ,over white lawn. It is very dim. tive and not half as expensive an made over silk. Skirts are cut walking length, waists unosuelly high, or sometimes pointed back and front, or cut sqnare, so most becoming to the wearer. Sleeves are made in puffs finished with a frill at the elbow, or full at the top and gathered into a band at the waist and finished with a band of ribbon and bow.—Brooklyn Eagle. Aspirations of a Kansas Editor. Why don't the men assert their indepen- dence and go barefooted during the summer?

Siete; if pop have a bad bargain yoo etick to the title and die by the bargain, Sister, 'he careftl how yoe marry. Be not unevenly yoked together. But if once the bargain is made stick to it and die by it. That's my doctrine. There is many a pure, gopd, noble woman that has a very brute for her husband. There is many a sweet.spirited, good, clever, honest fellow that is trying to drown his troubles at home in liquor from day to day. Law, rny sister, if your limo ie not more charming than a gamb- ling hell, or a bar room, you are in a bad fix. When you make home what it ought to be, your husband will stay there or he is a dog. You can take either horn of the dilemma. There is many a woman that lives so that her hus- band cannot love her and then quarrels with him because he does not And yon sit out there and look just as innocent as if all that you lacked was wings, and !I expect some of you had a big quarrel with your husband before breakfast this morn- ing. Sister, it is the wife's place, first and always and forever, to make her home the most sacred, the most lovable and moat pleasant place this side of heaven.

Sisters, I sympathize with you to the very depth of my heart in all your sufferings and cares; but let's carry the spirit arid pleasantness, because there is so much at stake. It takes a true hero to carry e. pleasant face and cheerful heart through suffering. A New Medical Plant. A very interesting discovery that a plant well known in India, which is entirely harmless, destroys the power of tasting sugar, has been recently publislaed Nature by Professor Thistleton Dyer. The plant is the gyrnnema sylvestre, growing widely in the Deccan Peninsula, and also met with in Assam and on the Coromandel coast. A. late Governor of Madras and other residents of India who have tested the properties of this plant certify that chewing two or three leaves_ of it abscra lutely abolishes the tongue's Power to taste sweetness. Professor Dyer's experiments with leaves sent to him at Kew, in Eng- land, corroborate their testimony. This plant is likely to prove a most valuable addition to modern materia medico.. Its power to destroy the taste of, sweetness suggests its use by physicians to correct morbid craving for sweetmeats, which is a source of widespread disorders of diges- tion. General Elles, of Madras, is reported as having found that gymnema abolishes "the power of enjoying a cigar." While smokers May not "relish this, physicians may prize immensely a plant which, admin. istered to patients who use tobacco to ex- cess, would for a time, at least, check nordinate smoking. The power of the plant to render tasteless many drugs which are extremely ominous ,promises to com- mend it to the medical profession. Innovation in the Harem. When the Pandishah sanctionsinnova- tions in the harem it is impossible to pre- dict what may happen next in the world of Islam. For centuries the names of the ladies of the Imperial harem and the par- ticular apartments they occupied have been known only to the Sultan and the Chief of Eunuchs. Latterly, however, this confi- dence has been shared by two of the physi- cians attached to the household. Now the Commander of the Faithful, of his own motion it is said, has ordered that infuture each Sultana shall enjoy the 'luxury of a visiting -card, and that she shall affix a copy of it to the outer door of the apart- ments she occupies in the harem. , For whose enlightenment this information is intended does not appear, unless it be to facilitate the inquiries of lady visitors. Possibly there has been a revolution in the harem, and the Sultan has taken this remarkable step in advance by way of mak- Mg his peace with the lights thereof.—St. James' Gazette. Big Words from Bismarck's Land. A. Berlin newspaper has been offering prizes for long words, and this is the stately winner: "Transvaaltruppentropentransporttram.- pelthiertreibertrauungsthranentragodle." The intreprets.tion of this somewhat in- volved idea would be: "The tearful tragedy of the marriage [though why tragedy and why tearful 7J of a dromedary driver on the transport of the Transvaal troops to the tropics." Another gigantic attempt at allterative word -making looks hardly less appalling: "Mekkamuselmannenroasseninelchelroor- dermohrenmutterrnatinormonumentemna eher :" which is supposed to mean the maker of a marble monument for the Moorish mother of a wholesale assassin among the Mussulmans at Mecca."
