hebitaut8, Ince been made a ohoiuel from
Greenook to the liroomielaw. One
hundred years ago twelve miles below

Anchor limos, dr wing twenty-four feet,

of £850,000 for maintenance and on
account of sinking feud and interest.
The business part of the city is eubetan•
Malty built. 13u0hauao, Jamaica, Argyle
and other streets are busy thoroughfares,
requiring the oouetent efforts of two
policemen to regulate the traffic. Glee
gow'e origin, like all old world cities, is
lust in legend. It is first heard of ab gut
the middle of the sixth oentury when
Keitigern, or St. 11luuge, as he is some-
times outlast, pitolwu cis lately out; en
the banks of the Molendinar, a small
rivulet which then as now rushed down
to the Clyde past the spot where in after
ages was treated the cathedral. It is
'said to be the mo, b complete eaclosiesti•
cal buildin=g in Scotland as ib eaoeped in
jury at the time of the reformation. It
is open every day and is iu its. If well
worthy of a visit. T• the readers of Rob

part of the edifice. Thr windows area 1
or nearly all painted and are mostly of
foreign workmanship, two in partionlar

anything of the kind in the hiugdom.
There are said to be 150 windows in the
building and about as many pillars .:f

in the crypt, winch ,mak s it dark and

monuments in memory of omiueut Dili,

the battles in which they full and in some
cases the old colors of different rt gimeits.
Crossing the talley of the Moloidinnr

a conical hill 225 foot above the 01,,de.
At a railed corner at its baso is the
Jewish burying ground walled and iron
railed about 40x10 feet inside. Some of
the lueariptious are in Hebrew and
others in English, On rho steno wall at
the entrance are the fallowing lines :—
"Tribe of rho wandering feet and weary
breast,
IIow shall yo flee away and be at rest ?
The wild clave hath her nest, the fox
hie cavo,
Mankind their country—Isrwl but the
grave."
IIow std the memories connected with
the once favored rime. The most con
81110000s monument is that of John
Knox. It ie a tall column of somewhat
heavy proportions rising from a square
base on which is placed a statue of the
Reformer lookiug over the. city. Anoth-
er oonspionous one is in memory of Win.
Ms(Javin, a noted controversial author.
Every foot seem. to be occupied end
crowded with local celebrities too numer-
ous to mention. Coming !torn there'
looked Into the Lxohauge, the large hall
of which strangers are allowed to enter
but nob to pass through except with a
member of theBoard. George's Square,
elle finest in the city, is nicely laid out
with walks leading through it in various
directions. In it are twelve monuments,
the central one en a flnted,Doric column,
possibly 80 feet in height, is in memory
of Sir Walter Scott and is said to be the
fireb that was erected 10 his honor. On
the East and in the centre line of the
square is ell equestrian statue in bronze
by Earoohetbi, of Prince Albert, and on
the west side an the same line is a simi-
lar one to the Queen, by the same artist.
They are beautiful works of art. The
others rue those of Peel, Wall, Moore,
Lord G,un bell and the poet Burns, crust-
ed by shilling subscriptions, Livingstone
and two others to two Glasgow benefac-
tors, mediocrities so far es the public are
concerned. A good many of theme had
been erected elsewhere but all of them
had oomparatively recently been set up.
In close companionship In the square
Nelson is oommemorated by an obelisk
on the green about 150 feet high and
Wellington by an equestrian statue in
front of the Exohange. There may be
othere which I failed to notice but that
the citizens of Glasgow have displayed
their usual enterprise ill memory of the
great no one tan fail in admitting. On
the East side of the square maguifi-
oent oity buildings have been built, open-
ed a few years ago by the Queen and
which were kept open for nine days. It
was computed that 400,000 parsons dur-
ing that time passed through and in.
epeoted the buildings. The stair oases

The 24th annual reptftof the Inspector
of prions and public °lharities upon the
mated, prix"ns and reformatories of the
Presume, being for the year ending Sept.
30th, 1801, shows a marked improve-
ment during the past year in the furnish.
ing and sanitary Ooudition of these places
and oleo in the assincation of prisoners.
During the year thole has been a large
decrease in crime thr•nighout the
Province, the number of committals
having been 10,428 it menet 11,81 .0 10 1800.
or 1,887 les- then the previous year
decrease of ll1%. In no year since 1883
have the committals been so low. 1'11e
decrease has not been particular to any
section, but has been generally distributed
over the whole Province. The most
noticeable decrease ie fn Turouto, where
the 110)01)011 of committals was 3,871 last
year as against 3,084 in 1880, or 013 less.
'l'lhe marked roclnetion in the number of
committals for drnnkenuoss, during the
pest year, of 050, is no debut due in it
great measure to the very stringent
statutory regulations in reference to the
sale of intoxicating liquors, the effloient
supervision of the license inrpeators and
the growing 001101041041 011 the part of the
Province that toe use of etinnn
lents is both physically aid nlsataly
injurious. The greatest difficulty in the
way of the proper management of our
gaols is the growing dispositiou to can.
vert them into poorhouses. It 18 14 die -
;;race to the people of this Provinas to
allow their aged poor, who have aommit-
tecl no crime against the laws of the
lend, to be incarcerated within pfisou
walls. It is inhuman, unchristian and
unpatriotic, and should be prevented by
the moot stringent legislation, if not im-
mediately, 19meeied by the authorities
of the various counties. There are a few
industrial homes in the western part of
the Province whioh are in very efficient
working order. Since the establishment
of these institutions there has been a
feeling of greater satiefeation among the
municipalities of the respective counties
from the knowledge Gist their aged poor
are properly kept at no greater cost than
uuder the old system. The average coat
of each prisoner throughout the Previews
is 25 cents per day.
The question broaght before the Horse
by your member, T. Gibson, in reference
to reduoing thennmber of county Oou11-
aitlors is bearing fruit and will likely
become law.
Mr. Rorke's Bill to amend tate Muni-
cipal Aob has been read a second time
and is now before the Muniotpal Com-
mittee foe'• consideration. At present a
municipality with 500 ratepayers is en-
titled to a deputy reeve and for every
additional 600 another deputy reeve.
The bill proposes to substitute 750 for.
500. The would reduce the number of
councillors, and, _;t is claimed, would ex.
pediate business. The sewed object of
the bill is to extend the franchise in in•
corporated villages and towns by )'odae-
ing the qualification in incorporated vil-
lages and towns by cednoiug the qualifi-
cation in incorporated villages from $200
to $100 and in towns from $300 to 0200.
On behalf of the Government, Mr. Hardy
rather fevered the proposition looking to
the reduction of tete number of County
councillors, as some Councils bed become
unwieldy and a rocithetion of the number
would faoilitato bwsiuese, The propoeod
ohauge, he said was not radical and it
might be considered advisable to e:dopt it
or some similar proposal. A large body
of the members of 11110 House aro inclined
to favor the proposed legislation.
