Ten fourth and last session of the seventh' Parliament of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario was opened at three o'clock Wednesday afternoon by His Honor, Lieut. -Governor Kirkpatriok. His Honor, who MILS accompanied by Commander Law, Lieut. Col. Otter and the officers of the Queen's Own, Grena- diers, and 48th Highlanders, arrived promptly at 3 o'olock and at once pro- ceoded to the Legislative chambers and delivered the speech from the throne. W. B. Wood, M. P. P., for North Brant, moved the reply and Jaynes Conmeo, M. P. P., for Algoma, seconded it. Au in• teresting bill of fare is before the House. IF the N. P. ie doing such glorious things for the farmer why, under the sun, did a representative body of tillers of the soil, such as the Central Farmers' Institute, many of whose members are staunch Coneervatives, discuss tariff re• form at Toronto last week with so much enthusiasm ? Why ie D'Alton McCarthy, Col. O'Brien and many lesser lights be- ing received with so much favor in varf. nus parts of this Province ? Not because they play on the P. P. A. harp alone but for the reason that tariff reform is a leading plank in their platform, and the farmers and working class generally only expect to improve their condition by modification or obliteration of its ex. borbitant ratings, and the wiping out of grinding monopolies. The Liberal party has had to fight this battle alone in past 'contests but every week adds fresh re• oruits to the great army of Free Traders who are marching Nino on to tear on the most fruitful cause of depression in this Do- minion and who not only demand a remedy but are determined that the N. P. citidal at Ottawa must be taken and a new regime ushered in, whose prime ob- ject will be purity of administration ; tariff for revenue only ; the wiping ont of the Senate ; the adoption of Prohibi• tion ; the curtailing of the enormous debt now burdening this country ; and the establishing of such trade relations with other gountriee as will prove mutually beneficial to all concerned. "The N. P. must go" appears to be the watchword of a majority of Canuolce, AT the meeting of the Canadian Frees Association, held in Toronto last week, the libel law and its relation to news• papers was discussed at some length. It was decided to formulate a plan whereby the best legal talent procurable would be retained at a yearly fee, whose duty will be to defend all libel suite brought against newspapers controlled by persons joining in this protective arrangement, It is proposed that the Toronto dailies contribute $100 each per annum to enur- ing this legal gentleman ; Hamilton, Lon- don and Ottawa dailies, 1650 each ; small- er city and town dailies, $25 ; town week - Hee, $10 eek-liee,.$10 ; and village weeklies, $5. The whole subject was handed over to a corn• mittee, who will notify each publisher of the completed plan and ask their Signa. tare to the document on above mentioned terms. THE public is waking np to the fact that good roads are one of the essentials to a civilized country like Canada, Leet week a largely attended Convention was held in Toronto to consider this import• ant question and those present were so favorably impressed with the necessities of the case and the good to aoorue from a ooneolidation of forces that a permanent organization was formed. The objects of the Good Roads Association, are l. To combine, eo far as practicable, the efforts of all persons engaged in the work for road reform. 2. To awaken interest in the subject among the people at large. 3. To receive, publish and discuss any well considered plans for local, Provin• cial or national action or legislation. 4. To aid in providing for a proper road exhibit and inetruotion in road• making at all Farmers' Institutes, county, dairyman's, creamery, cheese• men's and other association meetings. 5. To establish the association on the broadest possible basis throughout the country, so that its influence may be of weight in any directian in which it may ultimately be thrown. 6. To obtain and spread among the local associations full information re• garding recent legislation for road MI provement. 7. To obtain i and 'publish fall infor- mation mation regarding methods of road build• fug as practised in various parts of Can- ada, the Uuited States and other countries. 8. To procure and furnish to local as- sociations, at reduced prices, all valuable publications on the subject of roads and road legislation.

William Rodney, of Sarnia, who changes hie color from blaok to white and then bank again, was born in slavery on the border of Arkansas and Missouri. He is 68 years old and a full-blooded ne• gro. In early life he ran away and skip. ped to Canada. He was then a typical black African, with think lips, broad nose and woolly hair. Twelve years ago hie skin began to bleach, until his whale body, with the exception of his knee caps, and a few spots on his face and ears, be- came as white as the fairest white man. Rodney's arms are pure white, so aro his lege and cheat. His face, with the ex- ception of a few spots, is whiter than many white men's. The largest epote of dark skin are about the eiee of postage stamps, and adorn hie nose and cheeks, ending with a few sprinklings and what look like freckles on hie neck and ears. Rodney married a white woman, who has been dead 16 years. His three daughters and two sons are mulattoes. Rodney was asked if he was growing darker. "No. That story must have started from the fact that I am bleaching so fact that the dark spots look darker." bodyas bleached The dark skin on hieb re however, from an African black to a cof- fee brown, and he expecte to live to be a white man all over. bus hair ie an iron - gray. darnia people have known Rod- ney so long that they have learned to take his gradual bleaching as a matter of cearse. He has been in the charcoal and whitewash business for a number of years. His case has baffled the doctors, who have made a careful examination of him. He can give no cause for the change. He eats, steeps and walks as does any laborer. A noticeable thing about his bleaching is that iris Rands .axe not OVetl tanned.
