It is coming, Mr. Editor ; the crisis ie fast culminating. The signs of the times are pregnant with female suffrage. You can see it in the defiant glance of woman's eye; in the proud beeline of her step ; in each- ad- ditional half inch she adds to the heel of her boot, and every extra pound of hair she puts in her chignon.. Man's sole enjoyment of certain things has lasted long enough. The bans under which woman has rested, ever since Eve patronized Satan's apple -cart, is about to be removed. No more will man be entitled the " lord of creation." No more will he have the entire monopoly of cigars, cocktails, trowsers, delirium tremins, free fights, bribery at elections, and the station - house. Woman will be debarred' none of the luxuries enjoyed by the other sex... .She will- have a night key: She .will swear, and spit and chew tobacco. She will Skirmish round the. street at midnight and howl and hang on to lamp posts and sing " we won't go home till morning," and fight and break windows and enjoy herself. She will use a side=saddle no more. She will have nothing more to do with hoops, hose and hysterics. In future, when, a woman feels aggrieved, instead of going about insinuating that her enemy is no better than she should be, she'll take a club and go to her house and smash the crockery and upset the stove, and make the family stand round generally. There will be no sewing societies in those days ; no more tearing of hair nor backbit- ing, nor babies, nor breaches of promise. Expressions like " You mean wretch," " You nasty, dirty thing," " You horrid old fright," " You did," " I didn't,"" etc., will be expunged from the female vocabulary, and replaced by such vigorous English as "You're a liar," " Come on," " You low blackguard," '` Yoti infernal scoundrel," "You blasted horse thief." Women will meet on the street with the salutation of " Will you take something V' and they'll be borrowing tobacco and quar- ters, and little girls will scout round the doors of theatres. after the first act to get checks. There will he no old maids in that happy time. When a woman wants to get married, she'll get married, and no non- sense about it. She won't have to sit and wait for the fellow, and sob and sigh and waylay him on the street, and ambuscade him round the corner, but she'll just go up to a crowd and pick out the roan she wants, and freeze to him at once, and there will be an end of it. Woman will kiss no more then, nor 'be kissed. Spoons will be a thing of the past. There will be no more sighs, nor tears, nor blushet, nor jealousies ; no more hand - squeezing or waist -pressing in the porch ; no more dodging of the old man round the ver- andah. The-gir: of your heat twill come up and slap you on the shoulder, and ask you how you're off for stamps, and call you a "bully boy," and a " brick," and a "bluster" —and she'll wink at you -and say she'll " be hanged" and she'll " be blowed," and make herself generally agreeable. The standard of female perfection will have undergone a radical change in those days.' The cradle and the fireside will be deserted, and the nursery left to take care of itself. Feminine glace and feminine loveliness and feminine refinement till be at an discount. The bold eye and the loud tongue and the forward manner will carry off the palm, and the gentle tender, low - voiced woman we knew in our childhood will have passed away and all will be happy and serene. -- KORN KOBs, JR.—Ottawa Moil. ugh, Green- y Bits and PARLIAMENT A R.

Dominion Par- liament would not have power to alter the financial arrangements as fixed by the Act, and asserted that, had such power been assented to by Ontario. He was willing to allow the Nova Scotia subsidy, granted last session. and to secure it to heat beyond the possibility of it's ever being 1 taken away, provided that by the same AAt which gave that security, it was provided that the Dominion Parliament should not have power to disturb financial arragements. Mr. Connor opposed the motion, and argued that it would stutify Parliament, ,and said the subsidy of last session prevented a rebellion in Nova Scotia. Mr. Jolly denied that the subsidy had pacified Nova Scotia, and re- counted his experience in Nova Scotia last summer. He tound most intense feeling - among the people against confederation, and no signs of conciliation.' Mr. Archi- bald replied that it was natural that small people should feel irritated when annexed to a larger population. Nov.iScotia he be- lieved would never be conciliated by any grants of money, but by just' legislation to- wards her. He argued that Nova Scotia should not have been charged with money - spent on railways after the basis of Confeder- ation had been decided upon e and had it not been clone she would stand in as good a posi- tion as under increased subsidy. He also argued that the IEominion Parliament had power to dispose -oits surplus funds as it pleased, and moved in amendment that the House adhere to the policy of last session in this matter) The folloving'Bills were read a third time and passed :—Mr. .Snyder— To authorize the Corporation of the Town- ship of Collingwood, in the County of Grev, to impose and collect tolls and harbor dues, and for other purposes.

The Ottawa correspondent of the Mon- treal Witness says :.---Prince Arthur, whose demeanor and `bearing while in Ottawa made him exceedingly popular, has shown a new claim to the attachment of the High- land Scotchmen of the Dominion.. Pre- vious to leaving Ottawa, a number of the leading members of the House were invited to meet his Royal Highness at the Gover- nor General's. Among these were Mi. Sandfield Macdonald and Mr. Mackenzie. Irl the course of the evening. Mr. Macdo- nald addressed -a remark to Mr. Mackenzie intGaelic, which the latter answered, and. the Prince joining in, an animated conver- sation was kept up for some time, the Prince showing a -thorough acquaintance with the language, and giving evidence -of being pos- sessed of more than a mere superficial knowledge of it. This is another proof of the careful manner in which the royal fami- ly have been educated, and leads one to think- with sorrow of the death of Albert the Good, who in all the relations of life showed such noble qualities. It would not be surprising that the frequent visits of the Queen and her household to Balmoral should have enabled. the younger branches to pick up a smatteringof Gaelic. The wonder would have been if they had not. But in the case of Prince Arthur at least, and T have no doubt the others had the same ad- vantages, his .knowledge is more than col- lcquial ; and with the thoroughness which we know characterised Prince Albert's char- acter, it is not..difliculty to believe that it was part of his system to have all the roy- al .-children trained. thoroughly • in every branch of education. With such a popula- tion as is subject to our Queen, it is of no small in►portence that the Royal family should be able to speak in various.tongues, and Gaelic in some quarters of Canada is as much needed as any.

Getting up for an eariy train is neither customary nor agreeable with me ; the coffee was muddy and the toast abominable. I got in a muss with a hackman about my fare to the depot, my finger was jammed in the car door, and a fat man stepped on my toe as I moved to my seat. My face I knew looked forbid- ding, and, though the car was full, the seat beside me was not taken. We had gone past one or two stations when a tall, broa i- shouldered, farmer -looking fellow got into the car, and without a " By your leave," or " Is this seat engaged ?" down he sat by pie. -I gave him a severe look that ought to have annihilated him, but it didn't. Then I looked out of the window, and the car ruoved en. Byand by my attention was attracted by a gentle touch. Pleasant day." I gave him to understand, in a curt way, that I didn't care if it was. After a while. he reached hie long neck out by me and said, yawningly : " Looks as of we should hev some rain aeon." I let the I emark pass without reply, de- termined he should not draw me out. After some miles he again spoke : "Killed a hog last night." Well, what's that to me 4" sharply. " Guess how much it weighed." " Oh, don't bother me—six hundred pounds." " Guess again," after a pause. " Well, say a hundred pounds." The challenge to guess had a trifle of in- terest in it, but in a moment, ashamed of having shown any at all, I thrust my head out of the window, awaiting my study asso- ciate's advances. He made none, and, after riding some ten or fifteen minutes, I looked round. He was staring out of the window, apparently lost in reflection. • " How much did your cussed hog weigh, anyhow?" I asked, as surly as I could. - His face didn't change a rnuscle, though I thought his eye looked a trifle mischievous, as he replied : "Don't know ; we didn't weigh him." Fortunately for my peace of mind, he got out at Rhineclifte station. -0•toe A STREET 1N Rio.—Rosario is an old Moorish street full of balconies which project over the road -way, so that lovers living on opposite sides of the street couldalmost hand their amorous missives across to each other, or if very long waisted steal a fur- tive and elicit kiss across the intervening space, The houses generally are of two stories, though some have a third, and oth- ers send their long, istooping concave roofs almost to the ground. Scarcely any two are alike, though a similar charatcer pervades ell. All are roofed with the red tiles which seem to be exclusively employed for that purpose in Brazil, and the roofs usually project some distance beyond the walls -as an additional protection against the sun and rain. The material employed in these structures is 'generally granite, but the walls are covered with a kind of plaster or `stucco, and in many cases painted in varie- gated colors. The prevalence of bright tints inparts a cheerful aspect to the street, which otherwise, from its narrowness and the deep shade in which it is involved (lur- ing the greater part of the day, would wear a gloomy and dismal appearance. ' In the evening these narrow causeways are lighted by lamps . suspended from brackets which ere fixed against the walls of the houses, and it is then that they take on their molt attractive and animated aspect. ,They swarm with life, and the pavemdentte mur- mur with innumerable feet.
