Mr. Cleland asked it it wee the intention of the Government during the present session to assist in the construction of a railway from the town of Owen Sound to °purloin with the Stretford & Lake Huron Railway, in the county of Bruoe, the pro• posed railway being about thirteen milea in length. Mr. Mowat replied that the matter wee etill under consideration. Mr. Monk asked if there was a ohild under 10 years of age now confined in the Central Prison. If so, when and by whom committed, for how long a tirne, and for what offence. Mr. Gibson (Hamilton) replied Meet there was e boy between 9 and, 10 years of age at present confined in the Central Prison for larceny, committed for eighteen months at the inetenoe of the Police Magistrate at Hamilton. He could not be committed to the Reformatory at Penetanguishene, because under the Ain of last session no boy under 13 years of age oan be confined in that institution. Etiquiry would be made, however, into the oironmatencea of the cam to Bee if the boy could not be removed to some other inetitution. Mr. Meredith thought it an outrage that a boy of such an age ehould be committed to prison, and (mouldered that the depart- ment deserved censure for permitting such a state of affairs. Mr. Snider asked if the auger beet seed which was distributed throughout the pro. vinoe last year, as an experiment, had given good results. What were the minimum and maximum yielde per acre? What per cent. of sugar did the roots contain as tested by the emelyzar 2 Mr. Dryden stated that sugar beet seed had been furnished humeri] in several sections of the Province for the past two years. The results showed thet a fair quality of the beet might be grown in sev- eral parts of the Province, of a slightly lisrger yield than could be produced in Europe. At the Agricultural College the yield had varied from ten to twenty tons per sore. With good onitivation an average yield of from fifteen to eighteen tons to the acre might be produced, whioh was more than the greatest yield in continental countries. Mr. McMahon moved for a return of copies of all oorreepondence and full in- formation respecting the financial standing, retarne, and other matters respecting joint stook companies.

For gymnasium and temporary convocation room, $20,000. The House went into concurrence on the report of the Committee on Supply. Mr. MaLenaghen moved, " That this House regrets that & grant to the Eaetern Dairymen's Aesooistion has not been made." Mr. Dryden said that $500 was granted 40 the Western Association because they thought they could benefit the cheese trade by eetabliehing a school of dairyina. The Eestern Assooiation did not think this would amount to anything, and therefore did not ask for a grant. This school was only an experiment, and was agreed to by dairymen in the east arid the west. The motion was lost on division. Thereby Hangs a Tale.

It was also found that hie shoulder had blood marks upon it, as though a bloody hand had been placed upon it. Inopeotor Byrnes employed two expert °hen:data and the examination of the blood on the shirt and clothing revealed that it was that of a human being. IfIVEItY CLUE VALLS. The New York Police Make rianY Arrests but Don't Get the Ripper. A Jersey City despatch says: At noon to -day the police of thie aity arrested a man supposed to be an Algerian sailor, and took him to poliae headquarters. Chief of Palace Murphy said there was no doubt the man is the one wanted by Inspeator Byrnes for the murder of Carrie Brown at the East River Hotel. Inspector Byrnes was noti- fied of the arrest, and was requested to Bend officers to Jersey City to identify the prisoner. The man arrested is known as " Frencher No. 2." He is a boss cattle driver on the tramp cattle ship, and was arrested in London Eng., and imprisoned several weeke, but the authorities there were unable to identify him as Jaak.the. Ripper.

He arrived from Liverpool April 10th and seoured lodgings at No. 81 James street, New York. He wee to eail on the cattle steamship Buffalo on Saturday next. He deoleres he knows nothing of the mnrder of the woman at the East River Hotel, and did not know Inspector Byrnes' men were looking for him. He is perfectly wilting to return to New York. Sergt. MoOlosky, of Inspector Byrnes' staff, retched police headquarters this afternoon. He identified the prisoner, but said he was not the man the New York police wanted for the murder. A Washington deepen:1h says: A man anewering in some partioulers the descrip. tion of Jeok-the-Ripper is under arrest here. The prieoner gave his name as John Hughes endi his reeidenae aa New York, but would give no further information. ERE CORE REGION TROUBLES. Deputies Fire on Strikers — The Slays Swearing vengeance. A Soottdale, Pa, despatch says: The labor people are in a great etate of exoite- ment over what they term the cold•blooded murder of one of their number at Leisen. ring, No. 3, leet night. John MoSloy, a member of the Executive Board, swore 'out warrants for the arrest of Superin• tendent Robert Gray, Yard Boss Agnew, Pit Boss Callaghan, and two of the Pinker- ton guards, charging them with the mur- der of a Slav named John Malian. The arrests will be made this afternoon. The laboring people are EY:Veering vengeance, and more trouble may follow. At Brad- ford the sheriff made 28 evictions this morning. It is reported there was trouble and that a number of deputies were roughly handled. A Uniontown despatch says: Another collision has incurred between the coke strikers and the deputies, the result being one striker dead and one seriously wounded. Leannight Superintendent Gray and Pit Boss Callaghan, of Leisenring, went to house No. 17 to name some of the men who had been at work and were held by strikers. They were set upon and atoned, and the deputies went to their aosistance. One of the strikers tried to take a gun from a deputy, when a shot was fired by the etrikers. Superintendent Gray than ordered the deputies to fire, and in the volley whioh followed, John Mahan, a striker, fell deed, and another, name not known, received a mortal wound. The strikers then omitered, and the two men who had been held as prisoners were resorted and taken to Leisenring. The °Haa- gen is now reported quiet. GATHERING .010 NOTES. A Cute Yankee Playing the Legacy Game on Englishmen. A London despatch says: A man call- ing himself James Barthwick Arnold, and giving his residence as York, Pa., has swindled a number of Englishmen. He tithes a name from some directory and writes e preliminary letter asking if the ad- dress is right and hinting about advantages to accrue. Upon receiving a reply he writes a longer letter, saying Mrs. E. Avery, of Wilmington, died last January and left a legacy for the addressee, which le in the hands of a banker. He asks 348 86 (whioh is exactly a ten pound note) to pay probate feel, upon receipt of which he will forward the legeoy. The beauty of the Wink is in the fact that peOple, though not knowing Mrs. Avery, think oome maiden relative or friend doubtless married e man named Avery, and they quickly snap at the bait.

It is for these long- standing cases that Boschee's Ger- man Syrup is made a specialty. Many others afflicte,c1 as this lad was, will do well to make a note of this. 99 J. P.

Men Who Are Not in Love—The "Right One." Thiteelever eeny concerning "Men Who Are Not in Love" ie oondensed from the Young Ladies' Fashion Bazar: 4, I would give anything in the world to know whether he is in earnest or not," is the thought the% posses through the minds of most young girls when they have reoeived is good many calls from some hand,some beau ideal who seems to just suit their fancy. "But how can I ever find oat ?" they ory, deepairingly. Let me tell you, my dear, how to dithern whether a young man is really attracted toward you or not. When a young man has to be urged to cell on you—when you have to make oppor. trinities to eee him, or find examen to write to him; depend upon it you are having your trouble for your pains, for believe me, he's not partionlerly attracted toward you—he's not in love. If he cells irregularly, and not often, he is nos troubling himself about whether or not any one else may step in and win you from him. Love always makes a man fearful that he may by any slip of destiny lose his treasure, and he never feels sate until after he he has won the object of hie adoration. When a man is eager to have you invite your neighbor's pretty daughters to help entertain him when he calls he ie not in love with you, for the eyes of a lover are shut to all smiles and glienoes bat those of her whom he has called to see. If you are 25 mien old, and he is thrown in contact with young girls, and you see hie eyes reetlesely wandering toward the girl of 16 eummere, you may know then at once that however bright and witty you may be he is not for you. A gentleman should do all the wooing, for, though he may come to See a girl onoe •erne/rine, who plainly shows " she'd like to have him," he never comes the third time, for correctly it has been said that— " When a woman throws herself at is man's head. She'll soon find herself at his fest." For if the girl has to make advances the man is not in love. When a man is remiss in hie attentions he ie not in love. When he neglects to perform any little eat of kindness that falls in his way he is not in love. When he puts off his engagements he is not in love. Of coarse, in urgent oases, he may not be able to keep it, but if it is at all possible, word should always be sent, or he cannot be called in love with you. As Rosalind eaye in" As You Like It" : " The man who comes one minute late is not in love.' Dutch Courtship. In certain parts of Hollered, when a young man thinks he has found hie affinity, it is customary for him to ask for a matoh to light his cigar at the door of the be- loved one's house. This little subterfuge is intended to arouse the parents of the girl to the feat that something is in the wind. If is second call with a similar object is made soon afterwards, no doubt is lett of the young man's intentions, and the parents proaeed to investigate the young man's character and antecedents, with a view et ascertaining his eligibility as a member of the family. When he calls the third time, always for a match to light his &lion they are prepared to give him an SM./Ver. If his snit is regarded with favor, he is politely requested to step inside for the first time, and is served with a light. If he is not accepted, he is refuted a light, and the door is shut in his facie without further oeremony. But, having prepared for this contirg. enoy, the downcast suitor will, in all pro. bability, light his weed with a match from his own box, and walk awes, musing on the transitory nature of all earthly things. When the accepted euitor ie invited to enter the house, he, ae a matter of coarse, informs the parents whioh of their daugh- ters has captivated his fancy. When this is settled, the young men steps forward, and they join hands. While the engagemeni is by no memo a settled feet even at this important stage, yet it is stetted as a truth that when, on the 000a- sion of the young man's third visit, his inamorata has offered him a wooncl cigar, and he has smoked it in their house, the engagement never has been cancelled.

" Don " in Toronto Saturday Night: In my walks this fine weather I oaossionally meet a young and very handeome married woman in company with a man who is neither leer husband nor a gentleman. He bends over her and she gazes up at him in a very confidential way while they stroll along, as if anxione not to be overheard. I do not know how the husband feels about it, but I have such thorough confidence in her innate goodness and honesty that 1 with that I were her mother for about fifteen or twenty minute, and thereby privileged to give her a talking to end the other maternal etceteras. I have heard helf.a.dozen people mention the matter, not one of them said a word againet her, but when they spoke of her husband they wondered what he was thinking about. I cannot help doing some wondering myself. Now no woman has a right to do anything to asuse her hasband to be wondered at or sneered at. She is the oustodian of his honor. Even if he is perfectly satisfied to permit the aompenionship which is creating remark, hie kindness and faith deserve a better reward than they are reoeiving. Some day she will hear some cruel and heartpiercing criticism from an angry or envious friend. What is worse, her husband will hear something that will make him tremble with rage and sorrow and he will hear it from somebcidy who will probably make it look and sound as nasty as possible. Probably he will be twitted with it by a tipey companion at the club. Great Godt how wounding it will be to them both I Then why should this pretty goose play with the fox and arrange for misery it not a matrimoniel estreingement The thing( that are mid may be underserved, yet when the agony of resentment comes upon her she cannot say that she hes been without fault. And then, women are but women, weak and foolish often, and men are but men, masterful and villainous often, and the end ot it all rosy be much woree than even that which I have euggested. Province versus Speculators. Ontario is not richer in minerals than it is in miners jast now. Gentlemen who have sown a dollar in the hope of reaping a thousand from the rooky eoil of the Sud- bury region are bronzed miners. Hardened opeonlatore that they are, they never expeot to play leadiog parte in the great industrial drama. They are mostly early birds whose ambition is to hold rich claims until they oan unload them on capitalists who will work wealth out of the ore. Naturally enough the Government wishes to grab a share of this wealth for the province. It is try nag to encourage genuine mining, and at the same time to secure a percentage of the wealth developed for public: uses. It is right, and °ensure from the mining speculator is good praise for wise legialation.—Toronto Telegram. The Honors of War.

Every instinct of humanity seems to have been blotted out ; rapine and plunder are finishing what sword and bullet began, and women end children are treated as if they were in the hands of the most brutalized denizens of Africa.
