Mr, Mack -From the County Council of
Stormont, Dundee and Giengerry, praying
that the right to collect market fees be

Mr- 1$rmen-Frorn the munieipality of
Otteiwa, praying timt an Act may pass to
enable the carper:Adon. to grant gratuities to
members of the Are brigade who may be
Injured by fires ; also respectiug permanent
roadwaye.
A large number of petitions on the liquor
traffic were also preseeted ; also petitions
for private bill.
Mr. Allan, iu rising to move the address,
referred to the first Pediment of the
Province, and eincl that in those old days
much difficulty was Kee/ ienced in getting
to the pleat: of rerouting. The old buildings
just vaceted were Lead, qua to to meet the
requirements of Pediment, and the time
had come when there was a general feeling
that new buildiags were neeessary. The
,Oommiesioner of Public Works, who had for
is° long ably conducted the business of hie
department, had carried this desire to a nos
'easeful issue, and the new buildinge, now an
•ncoornpliehed fact, were a credit not only to
the city of Toronto but to the Province. He
referred to the orops during the year, and
toad thab Mr. Dryden, Minister of Agricul-
ture, was doing a great deal to popnlarize
farming and make ir, bobh scientific and sum
oessful. In conolusion he made a pleasing
r• eference to Sir Oliver Mowat, M . r. MoKeohnie (South Grey), in rising
to second the addrese, paid a graceful
tribute to Hie Honor the Lieutenant -Gover-
nor and hie popularity in different parts of
the Province. He then took up the quote
tion of agriculture and the teaching of the
subject in the Public: sehools. He also re-
ferred to the gro wth of the cheese industry,
and the importance of increasing our ex-
ports in agriculture.
•Mr. Meredith agreed with the mover of
the addrese in reply to the apseele from the
throne in feliciteting the Horne and the
Province on the appointment of the Lieut.
Governor. While they mend not overlook
all the oircuinstancee under which the
present legialenave pile had been erected and
, the manner in which a Cenadian. arc:hitt:et
had been excluded front competition for the
'work, there would be some cause for con-
gratulation if the expenditure yeas brought
within the limit at which it was
'set. He desired to say it was a source of
gratification to himself, as he was sure it
was to every member of the Rouse, that
the Commissioner of Public Works under
whom the buildings were erected was able
to lea in the Hone, restored to comparative
good health. He had hoped to find in the
•'Speech from the Throoe an emphatic
renunciation of the annexation sentimentil
sidvoce.ted by hon, geatlemea in the paste
To Ins mind it wee plain that the geee.t
=majority of the people of this country,
Reformers and Coneervatives, were utterly
and determinedly opposed to the proposition
of sacrificing either the commercial. or
:political independence of the country. At
times like this, when the future of the
n ',country Wile being discussed, it was inn
•snortant that there should go forth from the
=it
.b thamber a declaration of national senti-
ment. The hon. gentleman had felicitated
the country • on the administration
of the Crown Lerida Department,.
He differed frora the hon. 4entie-
man. If there was one departmenttof
the Government where there was nob a
proper appreciation of the netionel wealth
it was in the administration of the Depart-
ment of Crown Lands. The department, he
'thought, ought to take stock of all the
"timber reeources of the province, find out to
• whet extent the province was entitled to
•'expect revenue from i hat resource, and
enter upon a policy of huabanding that
resource. There ought to be (1) a conserva-

Mr. Meredith moved for a return of the
names of all persons who, during the year
1871, held office under the Crown or were
employed in or in connection with any de-
partment or branch of the pu.blic service,
and for a like return for the year 1892. He
waated comparative statement for these
years and thought the public would be
Warded at the information then would be
brought down.
Mr. Mowat said the information asked
for was not new. They did resist pressure,
and always successfully. Officials appointed
were men who were needed. Since 1871
there had been a number of important de-
partments created. • There were no more
officials now for the amount of business
clone tho.n there were in 1871, as compered
with the amount of business done then.
Mr. Meredith moved for an ordee of the
House for a return showing how often in
the past ten years the officer of Registrar of
Deeds for the North and East Ridings of
the County of Middleeex hasbetiome vacant ;
the dates when the vacancies occurred and
when they were filled ; and, if the office is
now vacant, how long the vacancy hen con-
tinue3. He sad that this was not an old
matter. On several occasions this office
has become vacant. It had been vacant on
the first occasion for two years and now
for four years. It was simply 'kept as a
prize to dangle before the eyes of politiciaras
in the riding. He condemned the eppoint-
ment of mernbere of this House to office.
An instance of this kind had occurred in
Peel recently.
Mr. Meredith said the announcement just
made must be very satisfactory to the House
and country. If the rule which the hon.
gentleman had just enunciated were the
general rule it would be highly desirable.

The King of the Belgians has iesuen a de-
,
oree for the proteetion of frogs. It le for.•
to any Belgian to capture or destroy
frogs, to consign them to any conveyance, to
expose them for sale, or to buy or sell
therm Soientifie men who want frogs for
• the purposes of their experiments are, how-
ever, to be permitted to bay them, and in
certain places where frogs are reared for
the French market they may be exported
to Prance. The object of the decree is to
wean the Belgians from eating frogs. The
king says eating this class of food effemin-
ates his brave subjects and he will have no
more of it.
A VANISHING LANDMARK.
Another favorite resort is about to dieap-
pear. Most visitors to Paris have heard of
" Bobino," but fewhave seen it. It is sine-
ated in the Montparnasse quarter. An the
outset of its existence in the year 1816 it
was merely a showman's booth held by a
clown named Saix, who was susbeequently
nicknamed Bobino. It was tben turned
into a dancing place, which was frequented
by the students and grisettes of the period.
Later on, however, the letter deserted ie
for &Mier and the Closerie dee Line. •It
was next transformed into a theatre, which
lasted many years and became celebrated
for its pantomimes and burlesques. Nestor
Roqueplan wee manager of it some time
before he was appointed a director of the
Opera. Oa several occasions it was closed
by the dramatic censor for attacking the
Government. Eventually its theatrical
fame waned, and it returned to life again as
a cafe-ooncert, but this change did not last
long. Once more it became a theatre for
operettas, but the public was not wanting,
and after struggling on in vain it had to
shut up. 11 18 now going to be made a
circus' like that in the Rue St. Honore
whichwas founded on the once-renownea
Casino called the Valentine. What became
of Bobino nobody knows for certain; some
accounts say that he died in harness, other
that he retired to his iletive village with
enough to live on.
FREAK rer FANCY COACHES,
In Paris there is a change of fashion in
coaches. Black does not suit the festive
Parisian taste, and the latest built are
turned out respectively in turquoise bine,
pale lavender, light brown and pure white.
Should thia rather glaring innovation ever
cross the Atlentic, perhaps broughams Baia
other carriages will follow snit. Think of
a turquoise barouche. The very idea is
appalling. Fancy trying to dress up to

PARISIAN BANDITS.
A gang of thieves organized after the
manner of the bands of brigands of old with
an accepted Captain and a tribunal insti-
tuted to itidge all who failed in obedience
towards the chief, has just been captured
by the pain. Although having their head-
quartera at Montretinsous-Bois, these sub-
urban bandits almost exclusively confined
their operations to Paris, where count-
less houses have been pillaged by
the gang or by indivinual merabers of
in The confederacy comprised one or tveo
adherents of the softer MK, who do not
seem, to have been treated with mach
gallantry by their male protectors. Every
member of the brotherhood. was bound to
bring in at the end of the day's wink a sum
of at least two dollen and wee to those
whom want of audacity or merely ill -luck
bad prevented from scraping together the
required amount of spoil.

"Now," said the editor of the Qaohosh

nonenfiseitsiveracity, and no exaggeration
in allo-wed on . any subject,. Do you think

"Yes, sir."
"Thea you may attend the Skimgallet-
Dttoniquizzle wedding, which takes place at
noon to -day, and I'll see howyou handleit„"
seta the editor' turning to his desk.
This is whatthe new reporter handed in
after tke festivities were over:
"113 is the custom of most newhpaperee
itt giving accounts of local weddings, to
!peak of the bride as beautiful, even dasher
ea as ugly as a mud fence. The Geniattqf
Liberty scorns each fintery, however. If
a woman is beautiful, we hesitate not to
say eo, but if she is not, it is not our fault.
• We proclaim the fact. We wish we could
say that Mies Melinda Dumsquizzle, who
became Mrs. Dennis Skil:nutlet at noon
to -day, was lovely in form and feature, but
• we cannot. While we have seen uglier
girls, it must be conceded by all impartial
observers that brick -dust hair and a mul-
titude of freckles do not look well on a
bride. However, she did the best she
could under the circumstances in wearing
a tolerably thick veil, and rigged out as she '
was, ine, drese of cream satin, looked quits
presentable ata distance.
"Hardly so much can be said of her
husband, who walked with a limp, and.
whose sparsely settled chin whiskers of n
• pale dim -color would have improved bia
appearance if they had been shaved off.
We ascertained by careful inquiry that
Skirogullet is old enough to be his wife's
father, and has, in point of fact, committed:
the offence of matrimony twice before.
Somii say that both his former wives were
starved to death; others, that he worket
theta to death. Which is cornet, the
Genius of Liberty does not pretend to say.
The statements are given for what they
may be worth.
"What Miss Dunisquizzle saw in him to
marry is a mystery, unites she thciught she
would be more nocessful than her prede-
cessors in getting hold of the money which
he is said to keep buried somewhere on hie
fame We heard it Enid that her father
owed Sicimnallet $135, and that the latter
threatened to have him arrested on a charge
of forgery if he did nob get Melinda. to
