ONTARIO LEGISLATURE At a meeting of the Public Accounts Committee ou Friday last, the commis- sioner of Public Works appeared and made the following statement which we extract from the Globe report :—He said—On the forenoom of the day of the nomination of 'Messrs, Bickford and Moss, Mr. Dickey called upon me at ray office, and told me that some of the men at the Centrrst _prison desired to attend the nomination. He also told me it was customary for large employ- ers of labor to give their men on suen occasions time to attend nominations without reducing their wages. ' I thought if that were the rule—and I knew I had acted upon the priaciple inyself when I employed inen—that it would be only a, fen thing for the Gov- ernment to gine the isithee indulgence to their men. I then gene him a note to Mr. Wegner the auffethitendent of,tbe workS, a copy of whielr 1, did not keep. The language, hoaVevar, was to the fol- lowing purperteand as near as I 021,11 recollect to the origival:—"If the men desire to attend the aomination you are at liberty to give thern a half a day's liberty and let their wages go on." That was all I did, aud reesoie for doing it is as I have already stated, 1 thought it was only a graeeful and pro- per thing for the Government to give the same indulgence to their men that other employers of labor gave. I have done it myself, and I believe no person, company, er corporation lose anything by giving any such att indulgence, for men work better, stud make good any little loss that mey be sustained in the way of wages. By letting all the met go /10 jealousy could arise between )(Jees and Bickford men. . Mr. Lauder—We went facts, not aportette.

Woodward., represent some of the most strilllng scenes iu North West -- ern Virgine. A nobler epecimen of the wood engraver's art has never been produced than tile fall -page eendering of Woodward's relealcooy Falls, James Rieer." The artist', and engraver have worked lovingly together, and the result is what may be c ailed a perfect picture. The secend picture of this series is a striking' view of the wonderful "Natural Bridge." and the third represente lovely elicit on the "James River, above ltope Ferry." The trumpet•flowers and other viues, twine gracefully over an old maple tree in the foreground., C. Mat - lads, a Freneh artist, had an ideal pie - tore of "Poland," a fall -page picture, representing ft W011194, shackled, bere- footed, seated amid enow and ice, crush- ed down -with sorrows, but not misdeed. Fritz Paulsen coutributes a full-page pieture, "Her treasure," showing the ineribr cid the thambee, with a group of yeung ladies standing about a cradle, in which there 18 a sleeping in- fant. This picture is artistie and beau- tiful in all of its details. "The Wolf tinned Shenhard" is a fine picture by Dore, illustrative of one of La Fon- taine's fables. eLaying out a town," is a child -life picture, eminently life -like by John S. Davis. Specht contributes two magnificent cuts of animal life, one respeeting,"English greyhounds," and the other "Wild Boars," a fine contrast between domestic and wild animals. Au excellent portrait of Annie Louise Cery, in the character of Aranaris, in the new opera of "Aida embellishes this number. ei.nother large portrait picture represeuts "Goethe at Home," in the chamber where he spent his childhood. The "Return of the Exile" by T. E. Resenthal, is a beautiful pic- ture avlalth depicts an incident iu the life of a npaniard who returned to his castle to 'firia it ruins. From the above list of illustrations it will be seen that the lt.larelt ALDINE is remarkably rich in pictorial ern embraaing every variety of subject.
