The nstimetee--,Slx /dill lona to he Dor- rowed--A Sorry Exhibition -The Papal Delegate -The 'Session's Work. [Froze Our Own Correspondent.] Ottawa. April 13. -This has been a wane of perturbation for the Ministry; of unmixed amusement for the Opposi- tion; of disgust for very many anensbers of the Liberal party. The co -entry has been treated to the spectacle of a Govern - natant supporter being maligned and vilified for that he has had the courage to nold an opinion inimioa to the views of the party's greatest organ and whieb, if it be adopted by the Administration, will mean a serious financial loss for the president of the Globe Printing Com- pany. Young Mantles, the "boy orator" from British Columbia, was the cause of the trouble. He had the audacity to accuse The Globe of "Cant and decep- tion." In a nutshell,the case amounts to this: Mr. McInnes believes that the GOV- ernment, and not the 0 P,R., should control the Crow's Nese Pass. The other day the young man from Vancouver made a long speech in support of his belief that it would be in the interests of the people of the Dominion for the Fed- eral Government to disallow the British Columbia statute giving to the British Columbia, Southern Railway Company the right to build the line and the owner- ship ot coal lands valued at many lions dollars. McInnes ventured the opinion that the C.P.R. people were the "masters" of the Globe, and that an uns derstanding existed whereby tbe Brit- ,ish Columbia, Southern line would be nothing but a C.P.R. branch. To this statement of conviction The Globe, which has essayed to place itself On a higher plane than is occupied by any other Cantelian newspaper, replied by announc- ing that Mr. MoInnes was and is, "a liar and a slanderer." Gone were The Globe's theories regarding the desirability of taking high ground in the work of jourrailisne No arguments were adducet1 to shisw MInn tii be in the wrong. In plaee of this the young man was des mameed U4 e liar and a slentliTer who availed himself of the privileges of Parlia- atom to itesail his ries. lett elannee :says that he leis tie enmity to The Globe or the t'.

C. ra. and i be C,P,R. Manilas Faye that if the teligal Gtivertiment lead out the Northwess emintry will he given greatly rethesed freight reties by Sir Wm. 'Van Horne. Perhaps this is so. But there is one fact certain: that the esteemed and hitherto impeccable Globe is trying to snake the people of Canada believe that it is acting in their interests while the , fact is that it is doing the bidding of its owners and masters. Under George Brown The Globe achieved a reputation for sin- ' cerity tbat has been greatly smirched by its action of the past few week. In the short debate that followed McInnes' tir- raiginnent of the party's chief organ the 1 Ministers were very non-commital. Some of them, notably Mr. Davies, seemed to: think the disallowance projeot totally at variance with Liberal doctrine. But we . must remember that in these latter days , Liberal doctrine runs on a sliding scale. The Estimates. The estimates for the next financial year were brought down by the Finance Minister the other day. Of course ray I readers will expect that the gentlemen of • the new regime made some attempt to earry out their promises of economy. If I they essayed to do so, they were most la- mentably unsuccessful. The "main esti- mates" only -there will be "supplement- aries" to be asked, for later on -total the enormous sum of $14,607.288. The sup- plementaries will amount to perhaps four millions more. Tie Mr. Foster's last year's stewardship the Conservatives spent something less than thirty-seven ieillions, so that his successors ask for nearly eleven millions more. It will not be at all surprising ff the amount should run up to fifty millions. The Adminis- tration has begun saving at the spigot .and spending at the bung hole. To Nova Scotia Fielding proposes to give a tnillion and a quarter of dollars, nominally on account of railways built by the pro- vince, but really to be used in the elec- tions next week. If the Crow's Nest Pass scheme goes through, as it is almosfr certain to, there will be a bones for the 0.P.R. ; the Gemod Trunk line will have to be priest for permission to run LC.R. trains over roads which it now controls; the fast lin.e scheme is to be carried out. The savings that have been made are very small. For years lefoldullen, the dis- appointed of North Wellington.has ad- vocated a reduction of the cast of man- agement of the Internal affairs of .the Northwest. To that end he has mamas- ingly demanded a reduction in the num- bers of the Mounted Police, Mr, Laurier has fallen in with his idea, and. $150,000 less is to be spent on the force time has been epent heretolore. Geatlesimis from the Great Lone I anti say that this stop has been very ill-advised. They point out that the Yukon eietrict alone needs am- ple policing, for the country is rapidly filling up with gola miners, some of them very lawless men. But to Mr. Fielding belongs the "credit" of making 111115 1110811 remarkable cut. Henceforth :the rate of interest in the Government Sav- ings I3anks will be threennstead of three and a half per cent, This will have the desirable effect of dissuading people from saving money. Perlsaps the astute Minis- ter foresees that iu the future the people . will have little to put by and therefore has hit upon this Gaped' ; whereby he 'will be able to explain the falling off in the Savings Bank account. The Minister of Railways and Canals has not beep modest in his demauds. Be is to get $3,- 100,000 more than last year for his de- partment, while Tette is to receive half a million additional. And where is all this money to come from? The Govern- ment itself expects only $88,111,028 of the 41 inillion already asked for to come out of income, The other six millions are to be raised -how? Why, by borrowing of course. So then we are to have about ten million dollars clapped on to our na- tional debt as a result of the Liberals' first year of power? That's what it amounts to. The promises of the G'overns ment have had to be carried out. Nova Scotia has to get its blood money tam Fielding. Tarte will be on baud, when the Quebec- elections come on; in fact, he is on hand now, for snost of Blair's three million increase is to be spent on the St. Lawrence camas. Tarte will take care that the righe men gee it. A sorry Isxbibittoo. And because of these things wbioh 1 have mentioned, the Premier, who never bas possessed too equable a temper, has developed a ourious petulance of late. On Tuesday last he gave a sorry exhibition of pettishness, The day had been set; apart for Governmeet business, the Franohise and Civil Service superannuation bills being on the list for discussion. Now the rules of the House provide that all bills must be printed in both English and Erench,and, Lariviere drawing attention to the feet that there were no lama copies on hand, alr. Speaker ruled that the bills could not be preeeded with. Hereupon Mr. Laurier became vastly en- raged. He forgot that it was the fault of the Government that the translations had not been made, and he declined to allow any other business to go on and ad- journed the House after it had, sat for something snore than three-quarters of an hour. It mists about $7,000 a day to CUn 51 II ' was thar money thrown away • Pimply be- muse of the Premier's ill -temper The members :lam the day in loafing: about, while, time -ding to the Premier. the Government had "an evening to spend dietsueeing the atria."

The Session'', Work. The eeseein of the Ontario Legielature terminated thee \Woe:. Ozi naturday the Governutent vets defeated on the °Muse of the liquor licente am, providing that the municiptilitit.s decide upon the tient- tier 'of lieenses to be issued within their limits. The vote was nearly two to one against the Government, but Premier Hardy declined to resign on the ground that the matter was not one of vital im- portance. The real truth is that Mr. Hardy wanted tbe clause defeated, and put up German, one of his ablest sup- porters, to fight it. The Prenaier was simply making a granct stand play for the benefit of the temperance people wbext he inserted the clause. It is well known around the Parliament buildings at Toronto that Mr. Hardy was no more in accord with the proposition than was German, but the temperance people had to be placated. In the same way the Gov- • ernment has made a bid for Methodist support by purchasing the old Victoria College building at Cobourg. Of course, the Church has every right to sell its property to the best advantage. Nobody will say that the Methodists are in any way to blame, but there is a strong sus- picion that if the buildings had not be- longed to one of the most important re- ligious bodies in Canada the Government would never have bought it. The session that has ended has been remarkable for no act of constructive legislation. Mr. Hardy has handed over 100 square miles of rich mining lands to his political friends J. K. Kerr et al; he has bam- boozled the temperance people; he has promised one thing and done another with reference to Sabbath observance, and be bas announoed that he is greater than Sir Oliver Mowat. •Truly great ie Little .Arthur Sturgis!

Yzeures, a picturesque little town in Indre et -Loire, nob far from Roche Posey. and Fontgoixibault, was till recently. a placeof which the existence was un- known even to most Frenchmen. It had no history, but it has now begun to ob- tain that perhaps unenviable notoriety attached to the possession of a haunted house. It is not, however, quite correct to call the dwelling in which the "mann festetions" ocour a "haunted house," for it is less the building than the fatally inhabiting it that is haunted. Twenty years ago M. and alma Sabourault, then a newly married couple, who took up their residence at Poitiers, first witnessed the extraordinary phenomena which still occur at their house. At Bourneau and Laudue, ether° they lived successively beton: coining to Yzeuxes, they were the victims of the same persecutions, the phenomena sometimes ceasing for awhile, only to reeonamence with renewed inten- sity. In this ease a girl of about 12 years of age, Mlle. Renee Sabourault, seems to be the involuntary medium. In any case, it is she who is at the present time pars ticularly persecuted. For instance, when by chance she goes on a visit to friends or relations the phenomena follows her to the place where she may temporarily re- side. The manifestations which have ac- companied M, and aline. Sabourault ever since their wedding day have been 'Various. Tbo displacement of objects has seldom occurred, but fantastical shaped. phantoms have been seen more frequent- ly, especially in recent years, by Mlle, Renee, and noises 01 44.11 sorts have been and are still constantly heard. At rze- ures a large number of the inhabitants have heard.the sounds, which they regard as supernatural, but sucli stories would scarcely merit any attention whatever if they had not been supported. by more trustworthy 'testimoey, M. Raymond Daplautier, a barrister at Poitiers, having ledrned that pee of this friends, M. Urbain, and. several other persons nein.. Yzeures had heard the .uoaccountabre sounds, resolved to go with a few stroeg nerved friends to ex- pose the fraud. They went to Yzeures four times -once in December, twice be januery and once in February. On eaoh occasion "N. Duplautier and his friends spout a night in the haunted house with the Sabourault family. They commenced by InsPectina every nook and corner, and then spent the night la the bed- rooms inhabited by the members of the Sabourault Lanilby, lobo were thus kept under strict observation the wbole time. Generally lights wers kept burning the whole night, But when that wee not dem- the lamp was lighted on the first sound beine beattl.

Some ineitasfe band, whiell from, the sound might la nothing Ian bone, began knocking at a 1'1'" 4,411 wall as early as lo inelecek in tbe evening. The quest inns put by M. Duplautier were invariably ans.-awed by three eheir knocks and ener- getic, smalltime et the wall. After that five home elapsed without anything ex- traordinary mattering. But at 3 feeleck isx the morning the wooden stairs were heard to ertii•k and groan under the weight of a colos-al though invisible being. Describing what occurred Al. Du - plata ita says :- "We heard on each step of the stairs the lease of immense eau shuffle heavily down ono after the tither till the last step was reeehed During all the thne the stairs, thougb they ass new and strong, groaued and cracked. Then it -was the turn of the partition wall separating the passage front the rooms leading out of it which was shaken by sudden and ener- getic blows. With a light, we looked about everywhere. We searched the gar- ret, the staircase and the passage, which was absolutely empty. During the rest of the night distant knocking was heard. The blows seemea to be struck above the house." • M. Duplautier concludes his commun- ication with the remark that, though what he aud his friends observed at Yze- ures is insignificant compared with what the Sabourault family witness constantly, it is sufficient to merit attention, as he regards it as impossible to be explained by natural causes ot fraud. -Paris Letter in London Standard,. Bicycles Driving Dogs Out. It seems to be a fact that the bicycle is ousting the dog from its old-time place as an outing companion with men, Whether large or small, a dog may, with the best intentions in the world, become a danger to his owner by runnieg against the wheel, or by causing an accident in some similar way. In the country one sometimes notices a dog mauling with a bicyclist, but on the city thoroughfares they are generally tabooed. • Besides the trouble they might cause, few dogs can live with a bicycle for a, ten -mile run, and they would be utterly done for a longer journey. • The men who once took pride and pleasure in their dogs as companions o11 pedestrian jaunts, are now wheeling and their CM:11MM have vanished. So it seems that dogs are suffering from the xivahy of the maohines as well as the horses. An exception, to be noted here, is that of A Harlem man who races whippets and trains the fleet and lithe dogs by giving them systematic runs after his wheel over the 'Westchester county roads. But, as a rale, dogs and bicycles go better apart. -New 'Yolk Sun, • Not Alive. Teller (wrathfully) ---That fellow Petty is too mean to live 1 • Grimshaw-Re does not.

"Peter was therefore kept in prison, but prayer was made without ceasing a the (thumb a -to God for him." There is ao doubt but that God could prevent the devil from touching one of Ris children, bat such is not 1115 way. Wheu on earth, the Lord. Jesus said: "In the world yo shall have tribulation. Whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service" (John xvi, 33, 2). From the glory after His ascension Ho saki, "The devil shall oast some of you into prison that yo may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation" (Rev. it, 10). But this also wo are perfect- ly sure of, that nothing can possibly come to a child of God without God's permission (,7ob i, 10, 12; Zech. 11, 5, 8; Rom. Nail, 28). 6. "Peter was sleeping between two sol- diers, bound with two chains, and, the keepers before the door kept the prison." The enemy did his best to mak.e sure of his prey. Two words in the Greek tell the story of .Tames (anent) machaira) killed with a sword. For Peter, God had other work yet to be accomplished and suffered him to be placed, itt these ciretunstances that He might show forth His power. In the hands of the authorities and under the constant guard of four soldiers, to two of whom he was chained, the deliverance seemea hopeless, but the believers did all they could do and cried instantly and ear- nestly to God (margin). 7, "And behold the ategel of the Lord mina" Double gnarls, chains, bolted doors and prison walls are nothing to ono of Mame holy beings thee excel in strength, that do [Xis commandments, hearkening unto the voice of Ms word (Ps, ciii, 20).

"And as Peter kneeled at the tart,. if the gat e. 44 daineel canto tii tusk who eves there mental Rhoda." Many esomenn names whieh We WOrilii like to know, steel as the mother of David, are not found in Seripture. Wily should this girl's name be here, inasmileh as the Spirit does noth- ing without, a meson? If any one has the answer, let us hear it; if not, we can wait, end some day we shall know. 14. "Ana when she knew Peter's voice she opened not the gate for gladuess, but ran in and told how Peter stood. before the gate." Knowing Peter's voice inakes us think of John x, 27, "My sheep hear hly voice, and I know then, and. they follow Me." Yet how many hear His voice, but becausethey will not open to Iiisn He does not come in, and, they do not become His sheep. In this ease joy caused Rhoda to lose her head, as we say, and she left poor Peter outside the gate while she ran in to teLL 15. "And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly afilrined that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel." Yet they had been praying that, if possible, lie might be released from his enemies (verse 5). Would we be about as reach surprised if some of our prayers were answered, or do we always pray and expect an answer? 16. "But Peter continued knocking, and when they had opened the door and saw him they wore astonished." Peter was bound to get in, and therefore kept knock- ing. Taat is the way to do, even as our Lord taught us in Luke xi, 8, 9; xviii, 1. "Ye shall seek Ale and find ide when ye search for Me with all your heart" (Jer. xxix, 18). The fear of the Lord, the knowledge of God and -wisdoni will be ob- tained when we seek it as silver and as men search for hidden treasure (Prov. 11, 4). Would gratitude or astonishment fill us if welted today the ansevex hong looked for? • 17. "Itut he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peaceedeclaxed mato them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison:" Stilling them -which per- haps was no easy work -ate declared unto them the weeks of God. It would be very interesting to hoar Peter's version of the angel's deliverance. Some day itt the glory he may go over it for us, but we have all the facts of the case itt our lesson. Peter ,was simply obedient, an.d the Lord, by the angel, did it an. Having hated, they were to go and tell jemes, who seemedto be the leader (chapter xv, 18), and the others. This Was not James ot the favored three (verse 2), but James, son of Alpheus (Luke vi, 15). The great stir ie the morniug and the death of the soldiers snake us think of the morning a Daniel's deliverance and the death of his enemies. LATEST MARKET REPORTS. • Toronto, April 19.
