Sir Oliver Mowat Dale• braced hie 74th birthday in the enjoy - meet of a good degree of health. The old gentleman has borne the responsibil- ities of office exceedingly well and bide fair to hold the helm for at least another term. Sir Oliver is eleven years younger than the redoubtable Gladstone and one year the junior of Queen Victoria. Eve. ry Canadian will, we believe irrespective of politics, wish Sir Oliver Mowat many happy returns of the day. Doimmess Parliament prorogued last Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. It has been a long session with little of note to ebow for the rime and money spent. The Governor General spied out that the inter -colonial conference will be beneficial to the Empire generally ; the ratification of the treaty with France and trusts that the arduous work which has engaged you in readjusting the duties of customs will accomplish the desired result of a- dapting the tariff to the present condi- tions of the various classes of our popu- lation. The session lasted 130 days and yet many bills -were shelved, debates un • finished, 12 notices asking for papers and correspondence not reaohed and use. lees discussion on topics laid over until some more Convenient season. The fol- lowing is a partial list of work left un. done :—Acta to reduce from twelve to seventeen the number of grand jurors necessary to find a true bill in Ontario, to repeal the Franchise Act and to make provisions in plane thereof, respeoting ocean freights on cattle, respecting the North-west territories (McCarthy), the proposed motion of Malook "That binder twine be placed upon the free list," to amend the Temperance Aot, to amend the Franchise Act by providing for a res- identialqualification, toamend the Act respecting the Senate and the House of Commons, to amend the criminal node for the purpose of preventing lotteries, to amend the Civil Service Superanua- tion Aot, to amend the criminal oode, 1802 for making more effeotual previa. ion for the punishment of sednotion and abduction, to amend the Act reepeoting Weights and Measares, to amend the statutes for Lower Canada respecting seditious and unlawful aeeociatione and oatbe, an Aot in amendment of "The Electoral Franchise Aot," to amend "The Railway Act," by providing a maximum passenger rate, respecting the liability of the Government and public aompan. les for labor in the construction of pub. 1io works, respecting the sale of railway return fare tickets, an Ant in further amendment of the North-west Territor• ies Aot (Davin), to faoiliate the voting of employes at eleobions, to amend the Aot* mooting the adulteration of food, drugs and fertilizers, respecting detective cor- porations and mercantile ageueies, to fix the salary of the Governor-General, to amend The Winding up Act," to amend the law relating to conspiracies and combinations in restraint of trade, to amend the Act respecting the Depart. r=ent of Railways and Canals. Among the unfinished debates is that on Churl - ton's motion for a return of papers, etc., oormented with the trip of the tariff nom. miesiohers ; on the motion of Devlin re. garding the sale of timber on Indian re- rervee, on Denison'e motion regarding the deepening of the canals ; on Coate• worth's motion for a reduction on post. age rates ; on the resolution of Stairs' ' regarding adulterated terse ; on Flint's Motion to prohibit the importation, man. bag, fi11 all paround it ;Vila= ith good coffee, fill Eha pipe itself with au inferior coffee, draw out the pipe and tie up the bag. When the coffee comes to be sampled a tube is sunk for some inches through the side of the bag, and from the sample the whole is judged and appraised. The tube however, seldom readies the coffee that was put into the stove pipe, and so the whole bag is rated much above the quali- ty of the core. Some may wonder how the Risley shooting record is cabled so as to repro. duoe a fac.simile of the shote on the tar- get, noting the exact spots hit by the bul- lets. The explanation is that a tele. graphic code is used from a paper target subdivided, with eaoh subdivision letter- ed or numbered, so that when the letter or number is sent over the wire the re- ceiver has only to refer to bis own copy of the target to know where it should be marked. It is very simple when you know how it is done. The cable brings an interesting account of a novel race of steam road carriages between Paris and Rotten. These horse. less vehicles, moved by steam or petrol - elms, appear to have been of every con- ceivable make, some of them, however. being handsome enough to elicit the ap- plause of the spectators. The distance made was about 00 miles and the time occupied in the journey nine boars and a -half by the winner, Comte de Dion. The greatest speed attained by the Count was a little over seventeen miles an hour. A GLA.SGO W MIRACLE. A SCOTCH LASSIE RESCUED BY A CANADIAN. Her Lino was Despaired Of—Subject to Fainting$pe11s and MeanTroltUle— llottnrs said Recovery was Impossible —A Wonderful Story. From the Glasgow Echo. The case of "Little Nell," whose mira- culous care was reported in the newspap- ers, with a subsequent letter from the Rev. Samuel Harding, is but one in a series of similar cases in Glasgow. The latest is that of Mise Lizzie Duncan, a young woman who has been snatched back to life. She was in what is termed a "decline"—wasting away by inchee be- fore the eyes of her parents, and her sad condition seems to have been known to a number of people. Consequently when she was found to have escaped the threat- ened death, and to be, apparently, as well as any one in Glasgow, a tremendous impetus was given to the 'prevalent talk, and an Echo reporter was directed to make a searching investigation, with the result that this strange story was entire- ly confirmed. Arriving at 208 Stirling Road, the re- porter was conducted into the presence of Mrs. Duncan by a rosy-cheeked young woman who proved to be Miss Duncan, who looked in no way like an invalid. "This is the lassie," said the mother. Heaven knows that a miracle has been wrought upon her. Eighteen months ago Lizzie began to pine away. The col- or left her entirely, and she appeared to be as weak as water. One Sunday morn- ing she said, "Oh, mother, I canna rise to -day," and before she had got out the worde her whiteness became like that of a corpse, and she fell away into a faint. I sent for the doctor who said she had heart disease. When he saw hor again she bad grown worse and the doctor said, "The poor lassie is very far through." We expected that poor Lizzie would not live long. There was no Dolor in her face. She was wasting away, her cheek bones sticking through as though they would break the skin. Her arms and legs were just bones. The doctor said "Lizzie may stand the winter, but if she does, that will be all." One day, however, I chanc- ed to read of several oases in which dy- ing persona bad been restored to life by a new scientific method—some pills, not like other medicine, but altogether of ex- braordinary virtue, celled Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for pale people. I said to my husband, "In the name of God, let's try Dr. Williams' Pink .Pilin." Well, before the first bon was empty there was an im- provement. She pereevered and when I'll 1313RUSSIEL$ woninvomoziomigualwawaamoro she lead duiehed her fifth box alio was perfeetly well, and there is not DOW it Stronger young woman in the towilhtead of Glasgow, though at one time alio wa0 a living skeleton. Ton eon ask any of the neighbors," said Mrs. Duman in oonclu• Pion, "or any pore= in ,the street and they will confirm my Story." "1 am stronger than over 1 .ivee in my life," added the daughter, "yet I milliard. ly deeeribe how ill I WKS, I was cartiiin- ly dying. I could neither go up nor down 'attire ; 1 was afraid to walk on acoonnt of the fluttering sensation at my heart. I took Dr, Williams' Pink Pills as my mother hoe described, and feel that they saved my life." Miss Wood, the lady who drew the' re. porter's attention 't0 the ease, said the parents had their daughter's photograph taken, for, they thought that she would soon bo sleeping in her grave. Lizzie once visited her, and was so .weak that she had to carry her back to bar house. "The change," said Bliss Wood in con- clusion, "has been wonderful. She is uow a sonsie lass, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been an instrument in God's own hands."
