following Speech from the Throne :
I have great pletteure in welcoming yoa

subject of neotiainn A settieraent of
most of these maniocs daring the present
year may remoter:1)1y be expected. A Bill

before you.
LAND IMPROVEMENT FOND.
I regret that the Government of Quebec
retains it old attitude with respect to the
land improvement fund, and in view of the
continued daisy, and of the arrangements
effected or the aalimble settlement by
arbitration and otherwise of mot of the
other queetiona in which the two Provinces
are iatereettal, I commend to your con-
eidereton tbe propriety of now paying over
to the municlipalitiee concerned the share
daergeable egainet this Province, without
waiting longer for a settlement of the
balance white' le c:eirned to be chargeable
as the share of Quebec),
FARMING elm THE PUBLIC =ALM.
I am greatly plotted to observe the
iinorearibag intereet whiele is taken in im-
proved euethode of agriculture, as evinced
by the marked snacess vehicle &Wanda the
seesione of Partnere' Inatitutee, and by the
growing demand for the reports and but-
tetins of the Department a Agriculture. I
take pleaeure in direeting your attention
to the work done in promoting the public
health through the operations of the Pro-
vinoiel Board, the diseinninating of sani-
tary literature and the inorosing effioiency
of local boards. Iludetnic dinases have
been notably Moe, and an impetus has been
given to the conettuotion of public water
works end eewage systems. To aid efficient
work of a scientific noun, a laboratory
has been esteiblithed in connection with the
Provincial Board for investigations into the
causes of diseaee. A Bill will probably be
laid before you supplying some defects
ascertained by experience in the preeent
atatatory provisione reepeoting the Board
of Health.

thoughts, when you find yourself toeing

hours later. But the lertst said ibout theee
experiences, and the wiehes then mealy
uttered, the better, and so I will tell you
nothingofthat August night, nor of the
long wait we had next day at Neville, near
Londonderry, for the English mails, which
had been delayed some hours in oroseing
from Holyhead to Kingstown, in conse-
quence of the storm. I should like, though,
to be able to give yon a eight of our last
glirapee of the ehores o!" Ouid Ireland," as
we saw them diesppearing next evening. A
suocesnion of bold bled and headlands

sent us happy to our cabins that night.
Pray enquire no further ; you shall hear
none of our groans.
Suffice it to say that the 750 passengers
on board were in a decidedly subdued
frame of mind for a few days, your editor

to be in a state to realize one another, we
lotted that we might almost consider our-
selves already in Canada. We were of all

eeough to call it, Amongst snob company,
who were all also so willing to impart
information to streugers and "ten.
derfeet " (thin being the mane for new-
comers in Canada)we were able to pickup a
good deal about the country and the people
amongst whom we were going to live for
the next three months. I will try to filter
down to you a little of what tb.ey told us
by degrees, but fast I mine to introduce to
you a number of youthful emigrants, in
whom I think you will be epoieily inter-
ested. Then are a party of fifty young
girls of all ages, 1 torn three to temente:in,

Rye's Homes, from whence they will be
drafted either as serventa or else dopted

be used in edectingionly suiteble, healthy
children for emigretion, but when this care
is used, there are endless openings for them
in Canada. Min Macpherson, whose name
is wellknown as having been the first
lady to undertake the emigration of
children'told ue that tbis year
she had bed 900 ripplioente for ohildred, of
whioh she had only bean able to eupply
150.
Those little OneS whore we saw on board
the "Parisittn," were all fen of eager
expectation regarding their new homes,
and after the first few days of sem-sickness
and discomfort consequent on the vaccina-
tion, to eahioli every steerage passenger to
Canada must submit, they made there -

ropes and various garners. A. part of the
ship had been partitioned off and fitted up
on purpose for thene—a little dining place,

little box -like berths, where they ley snugly
peeked away at night, with the kind
micron who had atoned the ocean some
forty times on like businese, sleeping in a
little obit opening into this special section.
The ohaplein scoompenying the ship often
had special serving for the children, and

bought round, answering her helm
inatantly, ond the vessel was soon
on her way to the ritruggling man. Sud-
denly two large albatrosses were seen to
descend with an eagle -like swoop and at-
tack the poor fellow in a terrible manner.
Both birds daehed at him, and to those on
board the vessel it seemed as if they were
endeavoring to gouge out his owe with their
hooked bills, while with their wings they
keen beetiag the unfortunate man abou the
head. The sight was a terrible one, but it
did not last long, its the barque smiled over
the course where the Dane had fallen over-
board about seven minutes before, but he
was nowhere to be seen. There was ne
doubt in the minds of those on board that
the poor fellow was killed by the albatrosses,
eis he was a powerful swimmer and seemed
to fight desperately for a few moments with
the ferocious birds.

body was pleteed on a table and the doctors
began work. The huelesnd watched every
movement very closely. Finally the liver
end heart were exposed, and the heart was
found to be greatly enlarged. The husband,
more deeply interested than ever, etepped
forward and took hold of the heart with hie
fingers. " 11 made my blood run cold,"
said the deputy, " and I plashed the man
away." He seemed to resent the coroner's
action very much, and insisted on knowing
what caused hie wife's death. The doctor
explained that it was caused by an enlarge.

The Coffers in the Bank.
The Bank of England is the- onstodien of

Many of these consignments are not only
of rare intrinsic and historicial value, but
of greet romentio interest. For instance,
some years ago the servants of the bank
discovered in its vaults a Ethan, which on
