at heart, as tike Premier 1s /apposed

some movement towards terminating
the struggle between the company

it to the members of the Opposition
to ventilate the matter in Parlia-

If three Grta, Instead of three

yroatstem-ei, the elait,Fie tiler(.
torieal Exhibition, soon to be held in
Toronto, report that " many old
relics from Air Peregriae Maitland's
residence jn Stamford have turned up
mos very fine picture of . 'the . lodge
whish has entirely disappeared ; also
a sun -dial and many other things of
equal interest." Seventy years -.have
passs¢.away since Sir Peregrine left
[1j(osr Cauda for Nova Scotia, glad
to find a calm •pd reposeful atmos-
phere after being for ten y wit -
Imes of, and sometimes a participate la,
the bitter poll tire 1 controversies teat
raged in this Province, aid which cul-
minated in a rebellion leas than ten
years after his departure. Bir Pere-
grine died in 1854, his widow lived till
1874. Toronto could not have been very
big, or very noisy, in his time, but it
was the joy of Sir Peregrine's heart
to get away to his summer cottage is
Stamford, a name dear to him on ac-
count of family associations with the
old Stamford in Lincolnshire. Wheth-
er he always took Lady Sarah with
him on his voyages across the lake is
not narrated, but it does not require
any great stretch of the imagination
to believe that one of the pleasing
!eaters of his retreats to Stamford
was relief from the presence of his
handsome and vivacious wife. From
scraps of history that are available,
it does not appear that air
Peregrine Maitland was a born
ruler. Dent intimates (.bat
while France (:ore or Peregrine
Maitland exercised nominal sethor-
Ity, Rev. 1)r. Strachan and 'Judge
Powell were the real rulers of iJpper
Canada. Kingsford tells how Indy
Barak practically compelled Air
Peregrine to marry her by going to
'Ida rooms In Paris one night when
her mother was giving a party to
which Mr Peregrine had not been In-
vited. Another author tells how Lady
Borah Instated that Sir Peregrine
dhonld take up the cudgee In her be-
half. when Judge Willed' wife - the
daughter of a mere Earl -had the
effrontery to (Repute a point of pre-
dwbmee with the daughter of the
Dake of Richmond, and a deseemnant
of tinge. These items are not In
themselves sufficient to prove that
11, Peregrine Maitland was the kind
of a fell ow Burns had In he mind
• when he wrote alxsit
" -the poorest wretch In
life.
The henpecked victim of a m»!ding
wife,
Who has no will, but by her kind
permiwalon
Who has not sixpwenc +, but In her poi-
snsim ;
Who mast to her hie dear friend's see
ren tell ;
Who dreads a certain Ieeture worst

Bat If the Committee of the llla-
tnrleal Exhibition routs find a hat-
tered rolling pin and n (entitle of
broken broomsticks at or near the
site of Aamford Lodge, with those
for n foundation someone could N

Weiner, a well-known French capita-
list, bought the island front that Eng-
lish syndirate. My hon, friend from
Leeds --again 1 my that I do not
think he was seriot6s-accused me of
having goes stere and of bevteg been
practically a party to Ih• proceedings
having le view the expulsion tot a
Methodist settlement from thet island.
So much has been said about teat ex-
pulsion, (bat I may be permitted to
any a word in explanation of the cir-
oumalances. Aa i say, Mr. Mier,
a capitalist from et
Franco, bought
the [eland of Anticosti from an Eng-
lish syndicate who had purchased it
years ago. When my hon friend ap-
posite, or any other hen. gentleman
opposite, buys n property, he belique
f
t
tel be e '(boner of It. ` Mr.
Monier found at Fox River about
tweety famines, who had settled
there. Those et us in the province of
Quebec who know what is going on are
amused at the report. (bet have been
Apron(' abroad. 1t is maid, that all those
who have bins settled there are Me-
thodists, and 'bet they art going to
be expelled on amount of their faith.
I may say, that my hon. friend from
Charlevoix (Ir. Angers) is meting as
a counsel in the CAM, and he will hoax
MP not in what i am gring to say.
There are some people of the Prote&
tant faith on the Island, and i may
add, that, among those whom my hon.
&lead opposite characterised as per-
secuted Methodists, are a oskiple of
Psseb Canedians and a temple of
iriehmea, and, perhaps they may hot
be thebst of the lot. Everybody who

to expel them. They resisted, •ad, as
there were some Methodlat among

of oar friends of the ,Protestant re-
ligion, and the fight is gain; oat It
asto whether r. Menier has tlii
right to own land or not. Proceedings
are new pending in the oourt. Some
of the Cosaservative organs, and sttj'
hon. friend from Leeds (Mr. Taylor)
ha► quoted tbeir asatiments int the
House, have said that Mr, Monier
should not be allowed to resale the
possessor of Anticosti Island. The
question is very clear. Shall • Fresoh
capitalist, who Doses to Canada to
invest money, be allowed to do so or
not t It, because Mr. Meatier i•
lereacb, he has no right to buy pro-
perty here, the ease is very clear.; 11 a
Ntrenchman coining from France has
no right to buy property, It is bet-
ter for as to asap fo ; but nobody will
say so. tar. Meade has spent • million
sad a ham of dollars; he is employing
only Canadian labor, and 1 am always
surprised to see that so much noise
has been made about a thing which,
in my estimation, is • very clear one
indeed. But, of course, all these sp-
