The Cattle Trade. i The counnittee appointed by the e Parliament to enquire into the trans-Atlan- 1 tic cattle trade have completed their inves- tigations and presented their report. The •he report, which approves the United States regulations for the inspection and shipment of cattle, condemns the use of steamships which are only occasionally chartered for the ocean cattle trade, since in most instances the vessels are unadapted to the uses to t which they are put, and the men employed to e feed water and otherwise attend to the cat- tle are generally unskilled and in many eases totally unable physically to endure the hardships of a rough voyage. The coin- mittee is inclined to believe that cruelty to cattle is rarely practised except by the inferior class of cattlemen known as drstiirs," the employment of whom it says should be stopped. The committee recommends more- over, that where ample ventilation for cattle is impossible the vessel shall be con- sidered unfit for the trans-Atlantic cattle trade. It also suggests that the foreman in charge of the cattle, • and his assistants, should be required to sign the ship's articles, and the men should be thus placed under the antherity of the Captain of the vessel. These recommendations it edit. be seen are principally in the direction of the sugges- tions made at Montreal last winter when Mr. Plimsoll was in this country. It is evi- dent that their adoption would greatly in- crease the comfort of the cattle while on board ship. Apropos of the trans-Atlantic •cattle trade it may be added that the Dominion Government has just issued is new order -in - Council governing theshipmentof the cattle. The order requires t het all animals intended for shipment shall be in the stock -yards for rest and inspection during twelve hours of daylight before embarkation. The trans- portation compeides are to provide chutes be which the animals are to be inspected. Each animal, after passing the chute, shell, if found to be healthy and suitable for in- spection, be 4Mnred With the letters V. R., and no animal shall be allowed to embark unless so stamped. • Embroidered chiffons made up over taf- feta or satin for evening toilette The Cheapest Plan.

And doesn't that prove the truth of the old saying, Never Judge by appearances ?" In a remarkable address which he recently delivered, on the occasion of his being ;are- sented with the freedom of the city of Glas- gow, Lord Salisbury said that the chief obstacle to the success of diplomacy was, not party hostility', but publicity. When I conclude a treaty," he said, "of course I desire that my fellow subjects shall approve it But I desire no less ardently that they shall abstain from saying so." The reason is that exultation at home means distrust and resentment abroad, and conversely. " We must do our utmost that our expression of opinion on foreign affairs should be as little as possible tainted with party prepossessions because words that are uttered with but slight effect at home have an intense effect aliturd.".

Sir Rebore Peel gave his daughter a magnificent rifling habit on her nineteenth birthday, and, attired in the embroidered gown, she rode side by side with him in the parks of London. She had scarcely returned home before she was taken ill with the most malignant form of typhus Lever and in ten days was laid to rest in the churchyard. And the secret was a very simple one. The poor !seams- tress in a garret in one of the slums, while she was embroidering that garment looked upon is husband shivering in the paroxysm of chills, and she took the half -finished garment and laid it over bit; ana the gar- ment took up the germs of fever, and con- veyed them from the hovel of the poorest to the palace of the statesman. And so we are bound together in one bundle of social life, and if we neglect the poorest and the lowest, society will avenge herself in the destruction of the highest and the richest and most cultivated. Poisoned Herself. A telegram from Quebec sams:—A young woman was picked up on the Beauport road this afternoon suffering from the effects of poison, and conveyed into one of the houses by the road side. When she was discovered she was leaning over the fence and Paris green coming out of her mouth. She was unconscious at the time and died soon after. Ws evidently a case of suicide. The deceased is an unknown stranger here. Narrow Quarters, Chappie—I've had you in my mird a day, old fellow. Cynicus—I felt cramped, but couldn't imagine what the cause was. The Caucasus is full of highwaymen, who make the roads unsafe. But there are also knights of good order there, of whom the highwaymen are in terror. The Listok of Tiflis reports an interesting illustration: A merchant of Tiflis made his way to a neigh- boring city to purchase horses; he had a large sum of money with him. In the dis- trict of Bortchalinsk he wee assailed by three Tartars, who tied him to a tree. One of 'them held a dagget over his head, while the other two unbuttoned his garment and made ready to steal what he had. But suddenly a man on horseback appeared from behind the hill. As soon us the robbers sighted him they called out "Sheltie' hotir!" (Satan comes), and mounting their horses disappeared in is moment. The man onhorme back freed the unfortunate merchant and told him to mount and resume his journey. The merchant offered a hundred -ruble bill to his liberator, but the latter disdainfully declined to accept it. "If thou haat many of these thing," he saia, " endow the poor and hide the rest. Shatro does not want thy money. Go thy way and include Shatro hi thy prayees to Allah. SITYMTIE, SAILlitite "Wlao was the author or. the eoylog 44 Thera LS alweyeroma at the top!"

The Clergyman's Retort, There is a 'Unitarian etergyman who isnot without is power of keen retort, and who is none the leas gifted with the gtace to Corn - Mend hie tongue rather tlafin allow his tongue to command him, says the Boston Courier. Be has in his congregation one of those women who make is pretense of frank- ness au excuse for rudeness, and who are given to boasting:that they are plahespolten, when the truth is that they are simply in- bred and insolent. This especial holy is wealthy, and there are not many in the list of ber acquaintances who dare rebuke her, albeit they do together console each .other for the wounds they suffer from her tongue by abusing her roundly. it chanced that one erersing the lady and the clergyman were partners at whist at the house of is common friend, and so successful -were they thee, they won almost every game for the evening, Like people who arefond of having their own way the lady was in bigh humor over this success, and when the play was over, she pushed batik her chair from the table with the characteristic and graceful remark to her partner: "You do play a good game of whist, Mr. Blank. If you only preached as well as you played whist it would be a treat to go to church to hear you." The cleegernan was quite equal to the oc- casion. He kept his temper and his face under perfect control as he replied : "Thank you, Miss Sharp; but on know anybody cau learn to play whist, while genius and good breeding come by grace of Sunny Rooms for Health. The rooms occupied by children should be made bright, light, and pleasant. It is sel- dom thought of ELS mueh as it should be, how essential to the health of chddren plenty of light—especially sunlight—is. One reason why poor peoples children thrive in the face of most adverse surroundings is that they are nearly all day out of doers in the full light of day in the air. Keeping children excluded from sunlight and petting them in dark, gloomy robins, is similar to caging a young bird and keeping it always in the shade ; it will soon droop and lose all brightness, becoming dull and songless. Scene children look pale and delicate, al- though surrounded with every comfort—. ne,y, luxury --well fed, wall looked after, and the real cause is often want of lightm! want of sunlight—and want of cheerfulness in the people and in the rooms they inhabit- ed. A mysterious murder took place nt Genoa two days ago, and has only just come to the notice of the authorities.
