Us following /Alio were introdueed and read a first time: To incorporete the Tilsonbarg, Lek° Erie da Paced° Recilivey Cm—Mr. Brown. To inoorporate the Mount Forest, Mark - dale di. eford Railway—Mr. Sproule. Mr, Tupper, in introducing hie bill to amend the act reepecting the protection of nevigable waters, oeid it was propoeed to make important changes in the law by 'striking out the clans° which enables the GovernorGeneralenConnoll to exempt certain milia aud etreams hem the opera- tion cif the act. It would be provided that those mills which now enjoyed exemption would have one yeer to make other arxerigements to dispose of their sevvdust, • and after that time the eat would apply to them. In order to improve the enforce- ment of the aot it was proposed to give the Supreme Court juriedietion. Prosecutions were now taken under the Summary Con- victions Lot. The bill was read a first time. The House went into Committee of Sup• ply. Sir Richard Cartwright aslaedfor further ,detaila of tlae item of e2,000 for contingent expenses of the High Commissioner. What did that sum cover? Mr. Foster said he could not give details. •It WaS always included. Mr. Somerville—Are we to understand the Government oan give no explamation 2 It was perfeotly clear they did not know now this sum waa expended. Sir Richard Cartwright did not gee that the contingenoies, whieh included taxes and insurance on the official reaidenoe, in. come tax, Mo., amounting to $6,050, should have an additional and unexplainable item e2,000. Mr. Landerkin—Is it not possible that the sum is for telegrams sent from this country? 1 do not know, but think it would be a matter of interest to the House if copies of those telegrams were prodttoed •and laid on the table. Then we should be able to say if the sum of e2,000 is requisite for that purpose. Mr. Somerwille—If the Government ie prepared to give Sir Charles Tupper this sum as a gift, let them say so.. We are entitled to know what this money is for. It has been shown that all contingencies, are paid outside of this $2,000. 1 do not think it is right for the Ministerof Finance to it in his place and not supply the infor- mation. Mr. Foster said that during Sir Alex. ander Galt's term of offiee there were similar itenas of contingencies. It is quite plain that representativee, such as the Efigh Commissioner, must necessarily have other contingenoies, not mentioned in de- tail or included in the 56,050. After some further dismission the item passed. Mr. Casey, on the item e4,000 for Civil Service examiners, protested that the whole thing was a farce, and that notwithstand- ing the examinations were held the Gov- ernment did not bind themselves to abide by the result. A beard that was at the mercy of the Government was of no use whatever. The nominal board was nosafe- guard to the ocuutry and was a fraud. A large number of young persons were in- duced to go up for examination, and to wait under the delusion that, having passed, they had a claim upon the Government for a position. Mr. Foster said that if the hon. gentle- man had any information that the Gov- ernment had in any way interfered with the work of the examainers he should make a direct olaarge. He denied that there was any foundation for it. Mr. Brown asked was it 'meant that there were two sets of questione ? Mr. Casey replied he had not intended to convey such an impression. Mr. Somerville said he could readily understand tha anxiety of the senior mem- ber for Hamilton as to Civil Service examinations, for it rumor was correct that gentleman was shortly to receive a fat "sit.' in the Civil Service with a salary of two or three thousand dollars. The item parted. Mr. McMullen, on the item for contin. genoies of Governor -General's Department, said that $144 was chakged for advertising a reception at Rideau Hall, in Ottawa paper& He thought such a charge should be con- demned. Mr. Cook—The Governor•General's De- partment is getting to be an expensive toy for this country. (Cries of "Order.") The Depaty,Speaker called the hon. gentleman to order for speaking disrespect- fully of the Governor•General. Mr. Cook—I was not speaking of the Governor-General. I was speaking of the department, and I am quite in order to say that it is an expensive toy to this country. Mr. Deputy -Speaker said he had mit- understood the hon. member. The item passed. Mr. Landerkin, on the item of $11,100 for contingencies of the Privy Council, pointed out that the country not only paid the Ministers their salary, sessional in- demnity and travelling expenses, bat their luncheons and refreshmentr. Last year the luncheons cost $231 and the refresh- ments cost ,586. If there was anything more the Ministers wanted he hoped they would not be afraid to mention it. The older he got the more expenswe would he be in the matter of Cabe. (Laughter.) He took a Otlb tr0111, hie hose to the gouge of Commone, but last mummer he rode in the street oars. (Laughter.) ge rayed a little money to the country by riding in these vehiolea, but they were ion cold for hie feet and he had to fall hack on the cab. , The Premier had a elaort conversation with tlae leader of the Opposition, after which he moved the adjournment of the House, and Mr. Laurier eecoucted it.' Mr. ellitchell—I object to this kind oE arrangement between the leaders of the geese. We are now three weeka in oesaion and very iittla has been done. I think we should have our night gessions, and get on with work. Mr. Laurier—There iO a good deal in what the hon. gentleman says. We have not been doing a great deal of work up till now. expeoted we would have a night session, but a peculiar eiroum- Mence in which I find myself placed made me second my hon. friend's motion for adjournment. Mitohell—It is a pity that that pecu- liar circumstance was not named. The following bills were introduced and read a first time : Respecting the Brantford Railway Com- peny—Mr. Brown. For the protection of persons employed by contractors engaged in the construction of railways under the Aot passed by the Parliament of Canada—Mr. Purcell. Sir Adolphe Caron, in reply to Mr. Amyot, stated that tbe last time the board of visitors visited the Royal College at Kingston was 18th October, 1881. Mr. McIntyre, in moving for corres- pondence respecting the taking of mackerel with purse seines and gill nets, said that in oonsequence of thendoption of these means the fish were rapidly desappearing. Mr. Tapper said he had received some petitions against this practice, and had no doubt that what was stated was quite true. It was a question, however, as to how far it would be wise to restrict our own fishermen while the A.merioans beyond the three-mile limit could use any means they chose. The United States prohibited the importation of maolierel caught with purse educe until lst June, and it was possible some arrange. ment might be mule between the two coun- tries for the protection of maokerel. Some steps v,ould be taken in the matter, and he hoped by next session to announce some- thing definite. Mr. Mitchell said that if the rights of Canada had been properly pressed by Eng- land mid the headland contention main. tained, Buell trouble aa this would not arise. Mr. Robertson said that in Prince E&. ward Island the fishermen found that gill nets were quite as destruotive as -seines, and Ife believed if the use were continued they would destroy the fisheries. The motion mused. Act relating to the Canada Southern Bridge Co. To inoorporate the Calgary & Edmonton Railway Co. To amend the Act to incorporate the Imperial Trusts Co. of Canada. To incorporate the Mount Forest, Mark - dale & Meaford Railway Co. Mr. Dewdneer said, in reply to Mr. Gordon, that the Government would send an officer to investigate the equatters' grievances on Vancouver Island. Mr. Coetigan, in reply to Mr. Therien, sell& that the Government had received no petitions from tobacco manufacturers ask- ing that tobacco growers be compelled to sell to manufacturers only. To amend the Canadian Pacifie Railway Act of 1889 and for other purposes—Per. Kirkpatrick. Respeoting the Erie & Huron Railway— Mrt Lister. Reepeoting the Brantford, Waterloo & Lake Erie Railway Company—Mr.Paterson (Brant). To g t (intent powers to the Canadian Millersu atual Fire Insurance Company —Mr. Brown. Sir John Thompson, in moving the first reading of the bill to amend the criminal law, said that the first object was to eas.ke seduction of servants by master, employer or foreman a criminal offence. The bill would aleo define and provide puniehment for incest. It would make the law more efficient for the sunpression of polygamy. It would provide for the giving of refresh- ment to persons while on duty. It was also proposed to enlarge the power of judges in dealing with summary convic- tions, and provide better security for per- sons committed for trial who nad eleoted to be tried under the Speedy Trials Act. Finally, the bill would declaim the law with regard to the rights of courts-martial in sentencing persons to jail. Mr. Colby said that while in all other respects the expensea oE the Privy Council had increased, there were two respects in which it had fallen off. In 1876 they paid Iti745 for ,newspapers, and last year this was reduced to $440. Mr. Casey °Welded to tbe system of eaoh department purchasing newspapers indie- mriminately. He thought there shoald be a central press bureau, which would supply all the information each department should want from the nevrepapers, and that would effect a great saving. Mr. Tammy replied gnat the present Administration spent ranch less on news- papers than the Liberals. During the live years of the Mackenzie regime, the total amount spent in this way wee $89,000, esbile during the last five years the total 'Sam vvas 5‘9,800. Mr. Mills denied . that the eteteinent made by the Minister correctly repro - mantel the expenditure. Mr. Somerville said he would like an ex- mianation regarding otth fares. This item, he said, was increasing rather ethan de- oreaeing. He found that the Premier wee paid $928 for cab hire for his own use. He must have been tiding in cabs all the time. ,(Laughter.) There was an item of $260 paid for cab hire to persobe not mentioned. He observed that his friend the Minister ,of Marine had been rather extrevagant in ithe matter of hire. Mr. Colby said he had investigated this meter of $928 paid to the Premier for cab litres and found that Sir John paid baok Ittet yeat 1$500 privately for his own cab hire. The year before he ale() gave his -,oheqeo for $500. No member would expect that the Premier was to make a Opeoial note of every cab hire at to whether it wee pereonal or public expenditure. tilit John Macdonald Was sorry he could not enlighten him with respect to the $260 paid to persons Whose namewere not given. As long as he was leremier;he was afraid the overburdened taxpayer roast be salted to pay for hie oab hire. (Laughter) enbstantial reason why there should not be the same Measare of jostioe ineeted out to every clase of the community. Mulook—Equal rights. Mr, Laurier—Yee, equal rights. Mr. Mills (itothwell)—In the true eons°. Mr. Kirkpatrick regretted that on sr- rangernent bad been made with the Gov- ernment ahereby this motion got preoeden over his OWn. He had unclertatiee to move in this muter as a private member without consulting anyone, He bad no eeeire to raise a point of ender ageinet the eireseut motiou, but he thought cinch private arrangements were to be condemned. He agreed, however, with the positien taken by the leader of the Opposition, and would support the amendment he had brought forward. Sir John Macdonald replied that it was quits proper for the leader of the Govern. ment to meke such arrangements with the leader of the Opposition. The praotioe Was followed. in England, and in fact if it were not iegialation would be impossible. He moved the adjournment of the debate. Doet'W COsett TO THE CITY. Advice to Country Girls who wraut Social Life. I have heard country girls talk of coming to the city for employment, giving as one reason that they wanted more social life. Well, that is just what they will not get ; the woman of business is not a woman of leisure, and she has no time for sooiety. She will find more social life in her own home, even if she be a worker, than she could ever have in the city, and there is no lonesomeness more absolute than the lone- liness of a stranger in a crowd. Salaries are not large eneugh to permit of nattoh relaxation in the way of entertainmenta, and after the day's work is oyee one is too tired to go in searah of emjoyment. In the country home, in these days, the daily paper and the magazine come, so that one may keep in touch with the world, even if she be at one side of the bustle and confusion of city life. The fathion article tells her how to dress her hair and make her gown, and gives her the latest notiona in small toilet details. No town is so small that it has not its pablio library, where all the new books come; and the lecture and concert are not infrequent in visits. Rail- ways and telegraphs have brought the corners of the earth together, so that one is never far away from the centres of things. There are occupatiens, too, for the girls who stay at home, and particularly those who stay in the country. Do not thronebto the cities in search of employ- ment,f or you will be doomed to disap• pointment.—Sally Joy White. The Haase went into committee on tbe Bill dealing with bills of exchange and promissory notes. Mr. Burdett, on the clause dealing with rules as to notice of diehonor, asked that the schedule of the tariff of fees and charges for notaries be deleted. In Ontario they were paying 50 cents for proteets, 25 cents fax eaoh notice and postage charged on the notice. The Bill provided fax Que- bec practice/coming in force, which mad o it just double` the amount of fees. His con- tention was and is that parties who shonll become security by endorsing for friends or otherwise, and did not pay the bills on maturity, had quite enough to do to bear the payment of the bills without additional charges fax protests. If protests were re- served by the Bill, the expenses of protest- ing should not be greater than at present in Ontario. The only benefit thee was likely to aurae to anybody was to the bank solicitors. Preserving the existing practice was eimply preserving a relic of past times, which served no useful purpose. It only created expense without any corresponding advantage to the people or to anybedy con- cerned. Sir John Thompson said he could not make the concession asked by the member for Haitinge. He moved that the clause providing that protests might be made on the day of dishonor at any tiroe after 1 o'clock be amended by inserting 3 o'clock. Mr Weldon (St. John) said this would compel the banks to keep open till 3 o'clock on Saturday or leave an officer to attend to this bnisinees, Mr. Campbell said it was a great incon- venience that banks should close at such an early hour on Satnrda,y, and theymight as well keep open. The motion was =rime. The conanaittee rose, and the Renee went into Committee of Sapply. Mr. Laurier moved in amendment that, in the opinion of this Muse, no rebate of duties should be allowed upon corn import. ed for use in the mannfecture of spirits for export. He seed he suede that motion as e, consequence of the disoussion le,toly in the House. The Opposition members were al opinioe that if rebates were to bo made to certain classes of the community they ehordd be extended to it11. At present the distiller could import eons, and, after con- verting it into opirits, was allowed a rebate of duty. On the other hand, if a fatraior irapotted corn to feed cattle and converted it into beef he was not allowed may rebate, Taking the two things together there was as much teasels to give a rebate to one Clue as to the other. If the distiller was allovaed a privilege 00 exports there could be no A. Boy Worth Millions. The youngest millionaire in New York city is little Marshall Roberts. His father was oms of the great merchants of his day, and when he died some four yeere ago he lef 1 an estate valued at 510,000,000. The little boy did not have this entire fortune bequeathed him, because there were other claimants with equal rights to it. When Mr. Roberts died he wee an old man. His widow. one of the beautiful s wing, society women of our metropolis, and the mother of little Marshall was his emend wife. She is now only 30, but is stepmother to a lady of 40 and step -grandmother to a yottug lady of 20, while Master Roberts, aged 10, is uncle to a maiden Melee his age. When Mr. Roberts died he left a will dividing his money among bis wife, his grand -daughter and bus little son. The son has half of the fortune for his own use, but until he comes of age his mother is to have the income from the 55,000,000. He has a tutor who lives in t'ne house and looks after his mental training. He is being educated after the English fashion and learns his Latin and Greek with his English primer. Mrs. Roberts is proud of her bright, hand- some boy, and takes every pains to make him n heelthy, educated gentlemaa. He oats plain food, sleeps on a hard mattress' is taught to know the valne of money, and in every way is trained with the same rigor' as a royal pritice. His fortune Is moot of it haveeteci in real estate and Government bonds, and four or five will known men are his guardians. His income, when he comes into his fortune, will be 5200,000 a year, whieh is almost e850 a day, or 522 for everyhoar he lives.
