H. \•\rebb, who was hanged at B randon, -Man., last Thuredey, tells the story of his crime as follows :• "I wish to make a full confession of the crime I have cominitted and with which I now stand charged, and lest I shonht not make my state- ment clearly by speaking, I think it best to do it in writing. My wife and I have lived very unhappily for many years. On the day of the murder we had been quarreling most of the morning. She wont out to fetch in one or two sheets from ott'the line and was ed lditis'ae she' went out. While she was doing this, the awful thought came to me. I went into the room .to the box ; the lid of the box was half off and 1 put in any hand and found a cart- ridge lying loose on top of tghe box. I went back, taking the cartridge with me, and put it in the gun, which was leaning against the wall near to where I was walking. I put tho gun down as my wife came in. She went on scolding me as she came in, and I picked up the gun again, raised it and fired. At the sound of the cocking of the gun my wife turned her head and saw me. She said, "Now, Bill," and began a scream which was cut short. I put the gun down and Billy came between us with his hands up, saying, '`Papa ! papa ! what have you done ?" I said, "Go and toll the chief I have shot your mother." He said, "I can't, I can't." I went out and gave myself up. The whole thing was done, I think, in. less time than it takes to tell it. I • had been drinking enough to cause we to lose my temper, but I was not drunk. I thought that all the children were out of doors when I fired at her. I did not know they saw the act until the inquest. A question was asked at the inquest which, if I ought to answer it, was 'Hadi ever threatened her before 4" Some four or five years ago, in a fit of brutal' drunkenness, I assaulted her and was locked up in the police cell. from Sunday morning . until Monday morning. I think it was nut my wife's wish that I was com- mitted to the cells. On Monday morning I was released. Since this, at times when we have been gnar- reliug more bitterly than usual, my wife has taunted me with this, dar- iug me to strike her, and throaterr• ing are with the chief if I did. On ono or two of these occasions I have said to her :—''If ever I touch you again you will never tell of it," or words to that effect, but uever really thinking I should do such an awful deed. I am ready and willing to answer any questions respecting my conduct towards her or respecting this act for which I stand before you charred. d.) W. H. \VERB. INTERESTING TO HORSEMEN The decision 'of the Supreme Court on -the question submitted by the Railway Committee of the Privy Council, as to the position of Pro- vincial chartered Railways and their eight to cross -the Canada Pacific Railway, is such as to give. unquali- fied satisfaction to all who held that the position of Manitoba as to its provincial or local Railways should be in no wise different from the position of similar Railways, in. other Provinces, but that under pro per restrictions as to public safety and expense to he borne; any line, Provincial or Dominion, should have the right to cross a rival. line. Hon. Edward Blake was chief counselfur the C. P. It., Hon. 0. Mowat for the Province of Mani- toba. A great deal of wiud has been uselessly - expended by the Grits in crowing over the result of this case. They allege that Sir .John A. MacDonald has boon "downed" by Mr. Mowat on this question. Sir John had nothing to do with it. The matter was a purely legal one, dependent upon the construc- tion of certain Dominion legislation. Mr. Blake says he contended in Parliament as he has done in the Courts that tho C. P. IL had the rights it claimed: If any one has been "downed" it has been Mr. Blake. To the lay mind having in view only the merits of tho conten- tions of the C. P. R. and the Pro- vince of Manitoba, the decision of the Supremo Court has been a most righteous one, and we believe that Sir John A. Macdonald views it in that light, From the first, the true citizen of any Province felt that as'lie desired every trade convenience for his own Province, he could not restfullydeny the same conveniences to Manitoba, and that once the exclus- ive right of the Canadian Pacific Railway to railway privileges in Manitoba was done away with, that Province had the right to charter Provincial Railways, and if lines under construction required to cross other lines, they shquld have the right to do so on such terms, as we have said before, as were necessary for public safety and rightfully looking to expoIsfie which any crossed line might then or for the future be put to, the Railway -Com- mittee of the Privy Council, to de- cide these questions. MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY After the treaty of Ghent had -been signed a dinner was given to the American commissioners. Henry Clay sat opposite Hon. John Quincy Adams, who, as is well known, seldom attempted a joke. When Mr. Adams arose to speak he said : " We have at last finished this business which calls us to this convention, and I am glad of it. Not that our relations have not been pleasant, but I think it is high time that my friend Mr. Clay should depart. I think it to the interest of himself and family that hesbould go at once. Because, gentlemen, at the hotel at which we both stop there is a serving maid, young, rosy and fair to look upon. This fair girl was met by IYIr. Clay this win- ing, just in the hall outside my room, .and I distinctly heard hitt) oiler her a five franc piece for a single kiss from her cherry lips. Like a good girl, she scorned his offer, tore herself from his embrac- ing arms and ran down the hall." The assault was so unexpected that Clay blushed to the temples, and was for she moment at a loss for a reply. As Adams was closing he noticed the well known weakness of the 'old man eloquent,' for his eyes were always watering and he c9J stautlyc kept his handkerchief etnployed in mopping out ilio tears. As the diplomats present all turned their eyes to Mr. Clay, he pulled out his handkerchief and wiped his eyes with u significant imitation 'of Mr. Adams' gesture. He then slowly arose and looked up and down the table, and finally fixing hie wondrous orbs upon Mr. Adams said :'What the gentleman opposite me has said is all true. It is true that the girl waa very beautiful. And it is true that her lips were very tempting to me. The story of my failure to pick the cherries is also true as far as it goes, but the whole story has not been told. I did offer the maiden live francs fur a kiss, but as I attempted to take it she sprang from ruy Embrace and indignantly exclaimed : 'Do you think I ani such a fool as to give a kiss for five francs when I refused that old gentleman across the hall, who has offered me twenty francs with tears in his eyes l' The laugh was decidedly on Adams, who took the joke seriously to heart and and would not speak to Clay for several days. At last Clay went to Adams and and apologized, saying that he had been dumfounded by Adams' speech, which coctained more truth than poetry. Legislature for seven years, as pro- vided by law. Alpe Bourassa is to be also deprived of his political rights, in eo far as the Legislature is concerned, for seven years and to pay a fine of $200. Aime Bouraesa is to pay his share of the costs of the suit jointly with the re- spondent Goyette. The petitioner is to stand the costs incurred for the mis en cause and for the disquali- fication asked for against Mr. Goyette. SOME VALUABLE INFORMA- TION AI3OU'L' CANADA Bulralo Express. • \Vhieh is about as near the truth as the many of the erroneous esti- mates of Canadian feeling * by American writers. The privileges which the Roman Catholics of Canada • possess are privileges that the Macdonald government has conceded -for the purpose of retaining the French Bleu support •in the house of com- mons.' Thero may be a usurpation of certain civil rights by this par- ticular deuominatiou, and au inclination to hold itself aloof Iron! Protestant support by the systeniatic establishment and conduct of separ- ate schools. But determined oppo- sition to commercial union or annexation cannot be Inferred from a show of independence which has been fostered and nursed by such professional leaders as Sir John A. Macdonald and Premier Mercier of Quebec. So far as Upper Canada is con- cerned the Romanist influence in .politics is but little felt. Bishops and archbishops—such as the late Archbishop Lynch of Toronto -- may pretend politically tto control their dioceses, anti, by so pretend- ing, gain coneessious which under other circumstances would never be granted. But the more intelligent class of believers will not submit to dictation from any head of the church. • If it is true, as has been asserted, that Sir • Hector Langevin, one of cabinet ministers, recently asked for advice from Rome as to how ho should vote in a matter that came before him as a minister, it was not done in the hope of obtaining spiritual direction, but for the sake of diplomacy and as the easiest way out of a sectional controversy. A CURE• FOR ROARING. A valued correspondent sends us the following extract from a private letter, written from Woolwich, by a colonel in the Royal •horse Artil- lery. If this method proves a sec- cessfel oue, it will be shill another addition to the long list of the vic- tories of the lcuife over diseases that Until recently were obscure and in- curable :— I have hada mast interesting mor- niug at the Horse Infirmary.. Flem- ing, the head of the Army Vet. Dept., has invented what he hopes is a certain cure for roaring, and he has now operated upon fifty horse. Ile was there this morning, and ex- plained all to me for about three hours I saw four horsos operated on. They are first thrown, then chloroformed, then turned on their backs—and cuff deep along their windpipe. In every case it has been the left side (as met always suppos- ed), but when the throat is opened you can see the right muscle acting perfectly, and raising and lowering the cartilago while the left cartilago from paralysis of nerve remains im- movable across the throat, causing the obstruction, and, he feels sure, the roaring; and this they wholly cut out. He himself says he has not had time t0 guarantee that It is a perfect cure, as ho thinks to pro- perly establish his theory and prac- tice nearly a year should elapse, the horse returning to his ordinary work, fast, etc., and food, but as far as can bo at present judged it is a success. Tho cartilage removed is as big as a crown piece. Several horsos from all corps, cavalry from different sta- tions, officers' valuable horses, all comp here to be operated on, so it should be settled ; but it is curious to sec the throat wholly exposed, That was where our Manitoba friends mado the mistake and that ie where, if there has been delay in the construction of their competing lines, the fault•lies. In O-iitario we have repeatedly had those crossing questions up and as,. repeatedly have been compellod.ad go to the Railway Committee 'for a decision as to the terns.

THEIR Few, perhaps, realize the expense and discomfort that society ladies incur in the interest of good looks. Then ortifieation and mental torture endured by a Nelle or comely matron with incipient aide -whiskers or. a well-defined moustache can never he fully comprehended except frons experience. What will she not do to eat rid of the disfigurement 1 Said a State Street physician, who ill no wise poses as a "superfluous - hair extractor," to a Chicago News reporter : "I have regularly front twelve to fifteen ladies who are undergoing tireetnGtalrt,. coruiug every other day for from two to three months, accor- ding to the size of the beard to be extracted. They are the most patient and persistent patrons a physician has, arid, as a rule, the hest paying. You see, we never turn away a sick person, even though lie have little or no money, but these other cases are different and we tuck on the price.

Mechanical electricity won't do ; a chemical current is necessary. The modus operandi is to apply the negative pole of the battery to the root of the Bair, haying the patient hold the positive pole in her hand. The hair cell is decomposed in about the time you can count fifteen, and can then be lifted out without pain. If the positive pole were applied to the hair the skin about the cell would be discolored, turning dark brown or black—a permanent disfigure- ment. We always favor the ladies by deadening the sensibility of the skin with ether before operating, so that the process is practically pain- less, "You can readily understand that even then it is . a big under- t.:king. Every hair has' to be removed separately, but it takes about an hour to remove a dozen: The patient usually comes every other day for a sitting of an hour or two. We have to take out a hair here ants a hair there partly for the lady's looks and partly to avoid local inflammation. It is pleasing to note the patient's nianif3let delight an she gradually to^ca her hirsute appearance, and becomes c, she terms it, 'less masculine.' I know of one lady who for three consecu- tive years went to her physician regularly to have a dozen or two hairs removed at a sitting, and her face is now as smooth as she could desire, since no scar is left by the process.

These rules are for the conduct and information of lunatics only, and, of course, no sane man need feel bound to abide by them. They are easy enough rules for lunatics. MIt. GOYETTE UNSEATED—LION. Mn. M'SHANE DISQUALIFIED'AND FINED -THE CASE REVIEWED 11Y THE JUDGES. MONTREAL, Jan 3—Justices Jotte, Gill and Loranger gave their decis- ion this morning in the Laprairie election case. • Judge Lorangor reviewed.the case. The election of Odillon Goyette for the Legislature was annulled on the evidence of bribery by agents and by respondents' own admission. Tho application to have Goyette disqual- ified was rejected' for want of evi- dence. During the hearing of the evidence the names of Aitne Bour- assa and Hon. Dir. McShane were mentioned by witnesses as having committed illegal acts. Aime L'our- assa, under protection of the court. revealed facts incriminating himself and Mr. McShane. Tho judge said the court was unanimous in reject- ing Bourassa's evidence on the ground of irregularities, and especi- ally because it was given after the parties interested had been mis en cause. Then the court rejected the objection of`avant of security on the part of the petitioner, ou the ground that the case was one of public in- terest, and maintained that it had full jurisdiction and that the pro- ceedings wore regular.

The court then proceeded to con- sider the facts charged against Mr. McShane of (1) having given one Damase Emend $10 to vote for Goyette; and (2) of having given the same Ulan $10 to abstain from voting. These chargos were thrown aside, as they rested ou Bourassa's evidence. Then- came the charge of undue iutlueuco, consisting of throats mado to Carmel, Lamaire and Laplante, three G. T.
