Leber cable news frora London says: The cause of the explokoa in the Aber- eyohan mine was the flooding of pits adjacent to that in whith the explosioa occurred. By the fletoding of these pits tiee was dislodged and forced into the pit where work was in progress, and there it was ignited and exploded. There must be.ve been it great quantity of gas, as the explo. don had tremendous force. it was heard at a dietence of a mile. All the gearing in the theft was thrown into the air as if from the mouth of a volcano, and eimultanemsly a vast, bright volume of fiamo shot upward, followed by a dense, heavy column of smoee. The firat party of rescuers organized endeavored to penetrate the pit through the bld workings. They got far enough to be able to see groups of the dead, but they notad not reach them and were compelled to retreat by the suffocating volumes of smoke that rose in that direction. Upon the &at appearance of a diininntion of emoke the rescuers went down the main shaft and reached the scene of the cetas• troplae. They reached a large number of miners' yet alive, but all very badly burned, and they brought out sixty dead bodies, nearly all so mutilated that the recognition of their identity is impoesible. The latest estims,te of the dead is 150. A later despatch states that 130 bodies have been recovered. 3.30 mm. -One hundred and fifteafive bodies have been taken from the pit at Aberacychan.

Vernon Harcourt offered a ni gen declaring the London Times, in pu lishing the forged Pigott lettere was gla Of a breach of privilege. Sir William co tended that a breach of privilege emend ted during one seseion could be punish clueing another seseion. He mad since suit for libel has been decided in favor Mr. Parnell, and since it has bee admitted that letters used as a cover the aesallit on him Were forgeries, t House is afforded an absolutely au basis whereon to aot, It is now abed° that tlae object of the public:ratiou of t forgeries oe the day when the Coercion 13 had its 'seemed reading was t influence t dieeision in Parliament, It wad a greets an palpable outrage upon the House. A mo flagrant breaoh of privilege could not conceived. Some reparation should made for this use of poisoned weapons. H urged that all sides should unite to bran with the stigma of Parliamentary reprob tion this ^praotioe of the art of politic forgeny. (Oheere.) Sir John E. Gorst, Under Secretary ft India, staid the time was past for the di cession of the beach of privilege. Mor over, suoh a discussion would be ha oppor tune while the report of the Parne Comnaission was pending. He moved tha the House decline to consider the motion of breach of privilege. Mr. Gladstone, who was loudly cheered as he arose, supported the motion. He saia he did not coneider that the Times' offence against the) House had been purged by the apologies made before the Parnel Commission through Sir Richard Webster, which apologies grossly exaggerated the original offenoe. (Hear, hear.) He was snrpriseci that Sir Richard had allowed himself to be made the vehicle of such an apology: This was the earliest ohanoe th House had had, and it was the most oppor tune moment for it to express its inclig,na tion over the publication of the forgeries If the conspiracy against Mr. Parnell had been successful the result to him would have been absolute political death, and the mortal blow strnok at him would have been felt throughout the Irish nation (Cheers). The Times had aimed to affect the judgment of the House, and it had really in that direction a temporary succe.ss. He did not wish to dwell upon the horrible and loathsome chs.raoter of the whole affair. He trusted the House would vindi- cate its right to deal with the offence. The Government owed it to itself to deal fairly toward Mr. Parnell and the trade people for the injustice done to both through the forgeries. Surely the House ehould not hesitate to express its full sense of the in- justice. Mr. Balfour accused Mr. Gladstone of dealing in flimsy fiction. He declared the delay was the fault of the Gladstone party alone, an d said that the cbarge the, jhe Tines had acted with a view to kiln noing the judgment of. the HOLIES was a celumny. If that had been their object, they would have had a better prospect of minces by gnotirg freely from Mr. Glad - stone's and Sir Wm. Harcourt's denuncie. tions of Mr. Parnell and the Land League. He objected to the ancient, cumbrous, and often misused machinery of the breach of Parliament. Mr. Parnell, who was enthusiastically cheered as he took the floor, said Sir Edward Clarke had not ventured to pre- sent the delay as a reason against the vote on a breach of privilege, for he well knew Hansard's debates contained many prece- dents of the House, inquiring at great length and very carefully before inflicting the penalty for breach of privilege. Why did not the Government appoint the Com- mittee of Inquiry we asked for in the beginning? That would have made it possible to prove that tbe letters •were forgeries in forty-eight hours. I never determined not to submit the facts to a jury, but always considered it absolutely necessary to diecover from whom the Times obtained its letters. I recognized, however, that it was impoesible to compel the Times to divulge this in an ordinary court of justice. The case of O'Donnell ye. Walter proved that I was justi- fied therein. Without knowing from whom the letters came, I would not have been able to prove that they were forgeries, and I should have been left with the opinion of all trained experts in the country against me. There woold have been only my word to convince a jury that certain letters advanced and printed as mine upon the great authority of the Times were forged. I think, therefore, I was wise in what I did. I asked for a select committee, because to compel its agents to testify before such a body was the only method of forcing the Times to divulge that secret. As this was refused we are not to blains for the delay. Bat wbo is to blame? Can you answer that? Yon wanted to tise those letters as a politicel engine, not :taring whether they were or were not forgeries. Yon saw that it was impossible for us to prove that they ere forgeries very speedily, and that eanwhile they would be useful to you in lectione. Yon need them to make capital gainst us and at a euitable engine for btaining an impairy into a ranch wider ;nation, which you would never have btained apart from letters that were orged for the purpose. Adminietering evere reproof to Sir Richard Webster, Mr. arnell continued: The leader of a party laat must always be in the minority here honld be sorry to treat my meet powerful pponents with tbe incredible meanness rul cowardice with which I have been eated by them. Even now I am further eulted by the terms of the amendment, hich insinuates that the forged letters may ter all be genuine. If yen believe those Iters were forged have the courage and ankness to declare it. I move to place the ord " forged" before the word " letters " the amendment to tbe motion. Mr. Smith, in behalf of the whole Gov. nment and his party, expreesed himself tisfied that Mr. Parnell bad proved the tiers to be fogeries, and consented filet e word " forged " should be inserted as r. remelt proposed. The motion offered Sir Willianci Vernon -Harcourt was then *tad, 260 to 212, and Sir John Gorst's endment was adopted. le 0. b.

ItIOTING 4vr uuLL. Anotnee attaek byItoWdlea on the Lady zvangeiiets-eteaee Teouble Feared. , A lest night's Ottawa deepatole says: There, is much axcitement here to -night. A week ago Miss Wright and a number of Young lady eVandeliete Went over to the neighboring Freneladjanadian city of Hull to hold evangelistic servicea. A number of roughs got into the meeting and broke it up, and several of the males wbo worn - partied the young ladies were roughly handled. There was tremendous indigne- tion among the English-speaking Protein tants of Ottawa, and vengeful dechnettione were made that the men of Ottawa wonld see next time that the young ladies were properly protected. Calls were made for organizing an escort, but Mies Wright wrote to the pakere deprecating such action, and expressing her convietiontthat Christian forbearance would do more to still the passion of the rioters than an army with banners. Others appealed to public) emigre in a similar strain. Tuesday being the night for holding the meetings, Miss Wright and her young ladyfriends went over almost unattended toolight and took possession of their hall. Chief of Police Genest was in attendance with a squad of police, and only allowed those into the hall whom he thought were friendly to the evangelists. Meantime a mob had been gathering, and by the time the meeting &tatted a thousand men were about the building roaring arid beveling. It was soon apparent that the mob set the police at defiance, and stones began to be showered on the hall. - In a trice windowwere smashed, doors torn off, and the meeting had to come to n close, as the audience were terrified. But it was as dangerous to get out into the street oslo stay in the building. The chief said he could protect the ladies, so the wor- shippers sallied forth. Their appearance was greeted with a ferocious yell, while cries in French rent the air. Stones flew like hail, and in a minute two or three men fell to the pavement. Capt. JosaWright, of the 43rd Battalion, was severely beaten while tiying to protect the ladiee. A man named Ferris was knocked senseless, with the blood streaming from an ugly.looking cut in the forehead. Another mamed Sbeppard was also felled, and was picked up by his friends, bleeding profusely. Dur- ing the progress of the meeting a perfect fuelled° of revolver shots had been kept up, but they appeared to be fired in the air, as no one was struck so far as can be ascertained. Just at tbe juncture when the Protestants were being knocked down like ninepins, some of them produced revolvers and faced their assailants. They ran like sheep then, and the ladies were got into some heats in waiting and drove off. The feeling in the city to -night is intense, and there will certainly be a bloody riot, as the English are deterrained now to stand by the right of free speech, and see Miss Wright and her little band of evangeliets through.

Young men, this is the first question your employers ask themselves when bush nese becomes slack, and when it is thought neceseary to economize in the matter of salaries, "Who can best be spared ?" The barnacles, the,shirks, the mateshifts, somebody's protegee, somebody's nephews, and especially somebody's good-for- nothing. Young men, please remember that theee are not the onesi who are called for when responsible positions are to be filled. Would you like to gauge your own future for a position of prominence ? Would you like to know the probabilities of your getting such a position Inquire within 1 What are you doing to nialte yourself valuable in the positibn you now occupy 7 If you &redoing with your might what youn hands find to do, the chances are ten to one that you soon become to valuable in that position that you cannot be speared from it; and then eingular Id relate, will be the very titne when you will be ought mat for promotion for a better place. -The Medical Record.

Mr. Prendergast moved in amendment to the speech that the abolition of Separate Schools was au infringment of the consti- tution ond a gross injustice to the minority, and that the establishment of a pneely eeouler school system was contrary to the Spirit and convictions of this Clarietian country. Premier Greenway said the anaendraents Resumed that the Government intended to establieh a purely Readier school eystem, but that aesunaption was wrong, as the Govern- ment intended to provide certain religions exorcises for use in schools.

The first charge against Moffatt we fully reported in last evening's Trues. I was that he had altered en entry in th ledger of the benle frona V7,505.41 to a7 755.41 with intent to defraud. The Magi trate considered a primafacie case had bee me& out and commited him for trial.

A model wife is the woman in whorn the heart of her hneband doth safely trust. She is the woman who looks lifter his household, and makes her hospitality a delight to hire, and not a burden. • Who has learned that a soft answer will turn away wrath. Who keeps her sweetest smiles and tnost loving words for her husband. Who is his confidant in sorrow or in joy, and who does rot feel the necessity of ex- plaining ber private affairs to the neighbor. hood. Who respects the rights of husband and children, and in return has due regard paid to her. Who know, that the strongest argument is her womanliness and so she cultivates it. Who is sympathetic in joy, or in griefs, and who finds work for her bands to do. Who rnakee friends and keeps them. Who is not made bitter by trouble, but who strengthens and oweetene under it. Who tries to conceal the faults of her hneband rather than blazon them forth to an uninterested public. The woman wines° life -book has love. written on every page. Vi7ho makes a bonne for a tnan-a bowie in a house mad in a heart. A home that ho. is sttre of, a home that is full of lOve pre- sided over by one whose price is abOVO rubies.
