He proposed that the motiou be athended so as to in- -dude all then who lot their lives in the war 41812. The amendment was adopted. The House went into coiatnittee on the bill to farther preeent cruelty to animals. Mr. Tisdale moved that the committee rise. Mr. Davin thought the committee should apply itself to coresieer the clauses of the bill and emend them if necessary, but to ask the committee to rise when so import - tent a bill was before it— ° Mr. Mills—When it cannot fly.

Sir John Macdonald stid he did not think it adviiable that this bill Should be adopted, although the legielation of the 47nited States was extremely untrieudly in its effects upon Caneela. Ere dtd not be- lieve Canada should imitate the legislation of the United States. We had not the -same reason as they had. The United 'States did not require more population. On motion of Mr. McMullen the debate .was adjourned. Mr. Brown moved that the House resolve itself on Monday next into a oonamittee to consider thabin to melee farthee provision for the prevention of ornelty to'anlinals. Mr. Small moved that the bill be consid- ered this day six months. Mr. Brown -Enid the Bill bad exoited widespread interest th ro neat tit the °Wintry, and had large -support in the House. The opinion of the House Was not expressed in e the vote taken last night. It was his desire that the mean:treed:weld receive the ;full attention of the , House. He appre- ciated the sentiment's of the Premier and the raenaber for West Durham, and hoped when the Bill again came before the House it would be dealt witla in a way orediteble to the House of Commons. In aortordance with the expressions of opinion he would withdraw the motion. Sir Hector Langevin, replyingto Mr. Mee Mullen, said the 'Government during last year expended on the highways of Ottawa $8,348, for water at Ottawa $14,500, and tfor gas $18,908, Mr. Colby, in reply to Mr. Teanderkin, geld that commissioners were investi- gating the Baltic outrage, and the notion or the Godernment would depend upon their ,report.

I osme through Iowa this morning, and when I took my breakfast on the diniog oar I saw on the bill of fare "no liquors sold in Iowa," While I was passing up on the Central Iowa road I ordered lunch, and on the bill of fare there were wenty•five or thirty kinds of liquor, including old bour- bon and all kinds of liquors. I said this didn't look like enforcing prohibition in Iowa, with all kinds of whisky, gin and ruin on the bill of fere, and I thought X would try it; so I said to the porter, " Get me a bottle of old bourbon," and he oaia, "No, sah, couldn't do it, rah, we can't sell it bore. Well I said, "But yoa have it on your bill of fare." And he said, "Yea, sah, but we can't sell it in the prohibition States." And at the top of that loll Of fare I saw "no liquors sold within the limits of pro- hibition States." Well, I thought may -be he was fooling me a little, but I looked around, and nobody knew me, and I knew nobody, so I Eaid to him, "couldn't you get a fellow a bottle of beer, anyhow " ? And he said," Oh Lewd, no bees, couldn't do it nohow." And I said no one would know anything about it, and he said, " Lawd, salt, dey counted every bottle in the car be- fore we reached the State, and then they count 'em after we leave it, and if a bottle is gone I has to 'count for IL" As soon as we left the Iowa line the dsrkey came to me with a face like a full trtoou, and said, "Now, boss, we's in Minnesota, I let you have what you wants." Not a drink in Iowa under prohibition—all you went in Minnesota under high lioense.—W. O. T. U. Expliration of Cattle to Ireland. Mr. J. R. Martin, of Cayuga, who iu ea- deavoring to interest Canadians in the ex- portation of store cattle to Ireland, told the Toronto Empire yesterday that he had received many encouraging offers of moat - tome from leading cattle buyers in the Green Isle. Several of them have intimated their willingness to buy Canadian cattle, but before the project is entered upon Mr. Martin desires to have the arrangements oomplete. • No Nonsense About him.

How Stanley Sentenced the Rebel. Saturday nights among the members of the London Savage Club are sufficiently famous; and they had a pertioularly interesting dine in Adelphi-terrace at their last gathering. One onghe not to tell tales out of scheol, I, suppose; bat when you have three Africa'? travellers Ditto a bunch; ween they pt up itrid tell their adveutures ; and when the men are Lieut.

Besides, Stairs and Stevens told ns some- thivg about Burnley, and it would be too bad to keep the public out of the ssoret. Lieutenant Stairs is a very young officer of Engineers, a tall, fair,, handsome fellow, who blushed hard when his hut (Mr. H. Wellcome, the chairman of the night) thin tut how highly Stanley had spoken of him, and when, later, Mr. Stevens touched the same string. The lieutenant did nat say much, but he informed us that he has one of she Congo forest dwarfs in stock at Zanzibar, and intencle to bring him to London when the warm weather sets in. Mr. Stevens is also a. y oung man, and, like Da Cheillu and other pluoky travellers, is rather tinder than over the middle height, as the novelists say. He told ns of his converes• dons with Stnnley, and how all his °Moen speak in the highest teems of his genius and friendly bearing towards them. To Mr. SteveDS Stanley ear/leaked to. Lieu- tenant Stairs all tbe attributes of &st- olen; generalship. In one of his srapbio letters, it will be remembered, Stanley describes a nintiny amongst the cowardly rascals whom he rescued, and briefly states that he executed the -ringleader, and had no more trouble from •traitors. Mr. Stevens told us on Saturday how the execution was carried out, and as this was new matter I shall repeat the Story as Stevens heard it from eye.witnesdes, and now related it behind the dinner table. " At that time," he seed, " Stanley was so weak that he could not turn in his bed without help; but so strong was him iron will that he insisted upon be- ing taken out of bed and propped up in a chair: He took a strong stimulant, and had himself carried outside of his tent, where the people were all drawn up, and where the mutineer, who had been tried and found guilty, awaited his sentence: The ohair was put down and Stanley faced the miscreant, the fever in hie eye, and hie thin hand out- etretched. We have come through a thousand difficulties and dangers to save you,' he said, and this is our reward Depart to Godi' The people therenpon rushed upon the man, shouting, What shall we do with him ? ' Send him to God,I say 1' shonted Stanley, pointing to the overhanging limb of a tree. A rope was thrown over, 'noosed round the misoreant's neok, and he was swiftly run up, and soon dangled a corpse in the air." The story was very dranatically told by ,Mr. Stevens. I could not help thinking in the midst of the applause, that this is a funny world. Even out there, in the heart of the Dark Contin- ent, there was a rope handy for hanging a man, and willing persons who knew how to hang him. Blemories of tho Past.

Now, Mr. &matt bad heard luituth abet the ogee(' of Socialistic ideas in this ocientry, and while willing to admit that some of these dootrines had a show of reason on ;heir side, he could not bring himself to the point of believing in a "community of chair." Accordingly, on several oeoesions as the breakfaet table he had warned his daughter against lea:min- ing a oonvert to suoh a pernicious theory.; but, although she listened attentively, and sometimes remarked very demurely "Yes, paps," and "No, papa," he could not f eel assured that he heel made a favorable im- pression upon her. One Sunday evening, when Mr. Benson and Miss Jones were in the parlor, Air. Jones quietly, as be thought, made his way to the room. On entering the door he found Mr. Benson turning over the saves of an album on the marble -topped centre table, while the younglady „ was intently gazing on an engraving wedded 1, Napoleon Okossing the Alps," which hong on the wall'.just above the stove. There were two cheers in the centre of the room, about ten feet apart, and Mr. Jones, muttering something about looking for his speetaclee, rather sheepishly withdrew. But he was still suspicions, and on returning to the dining -room he hit upon a plan which he felt coufident would not only clear up all lingering doubts in his mind, bat also bring him fame and fortune. The idea was nothing more nor less than hat of a patent adjustable claairapparently ike the ordinary article, but eo constructed hat under an excess of weight it would ink to the floor, and a whistle, worked by ompressed sir, would emit a shriek akin o that from a steam calliope in a oirons arade. For example, Dates Jones, BB has lready been said, weighed 125 pounds. Mr. Beneon's weight was an unknown nantity but Mr. Jones, who had taken art in local contests for gumming the weight of hoge, surmised that it should be t least 160 pounds. So, having'completed is chair, he adjusted it on the next unday night to bear a weight of 250 ounds, placed it in the parlor, and retired o the dining -room to await develop- pleAlibtOgit 9 o'clock Mr. Benson arrived, and e and Mies Jones went to the parlor.

Mr. Jones rushed to the arlor and found the chair in a state of col - pee, the dry goods olerk on bis back on he floor, vainly clawing at the air, and Miss ones seated Tnrkialotashion on the carpet, ith a dazed look on her face and her outh fall of hairpins, frantically sndeav- 31 i rrange the Payette knot of her xuriant tresses.

Two Picture. An unknown wayfarer broke through the ice on Toronto Bay a day or two ago. A, young Sootohman named Baillie, barely 20 years of age, and only a few months in this country, crawled over the cracking surface, reaohed a band to the drowning man'and pulled him into safety; but the ice break- ing again, was himself drowned, although the man he resoued was eventually saved. There was heroism. Within a few yards of this eoene was displayed equally striking brutality. When the accident happened a companion of Baillie's skated to an ice- boat near by to get a rope to throw to the man in the water. The Telegram report says: The skater who went away for the rope tried to got one from an ion -boat which was standing near the Beelle of the drowning man. The fellOWS on the boat refuted to give a rope and offered no aseistence. Life presents curiously varying phases.

Whatle Weril by the Ladies at this Clauttn- ing Winter Resort. Nice, et the present time, is fall te over- flowing, and strangers have come from all Parte, end natUrally 601310 Of the beat dressed women are to be awn every day on the Promenade des Angled% One or two costumes I noticed as being exceptionally. pretty. Oue worn by fair Russian was of dark olive green oloth thickly braided in the same shade ; the bodice was open in front over a weistooat of white oloth with roWe of gold braid narrowing into the waist: A caftan of green cloth bordered with brown fur was set jeniatily on the pretty eoft fair hair, which was worn ha the most liegorning fashion, namele high on the head. • One's eye cannot at present get accuse tamed to the untidy and loose appearance presented by many who have adoped the neeefeshion ofwearing the hair low down on the nook; and although it may snit a few, it is probable the feebien will not be- come general, as English girls in particular 10,4 as well again in the old way of dress- ing the hair, and are not likely to forsake what is becoming to many for a fashion that is only so for a few. • A.mong a group of Americana I noticed one in particular whose dress of red cloth with bands of black velvet fitted most ex- quisitely; the skirt was perfectly flat at the back and was short,, the bodice was tight fitting with high collar and full sleeves of black velvet, a scarlet beret cap to raatch was worn with this dress and looked very smart and in keepingwith the centume. • One peculiarity I noticed in many cos- tumes, namely, the amount of black used mixed with ' color in pertionlar with red; either the cloakor oostume was of red, trimmed with black, or of red with either blank astrakan or some other black fax used as a trimming, the high collar and fall sleeves in many cases being made of fur, and used in this way proving moat be- coming to the faoe and figure. The hats worn at the battle of flowers were many and various, ranging from the large straw flat list trimmed, with gar- lands of natural flowers, to the light airy looking white tulle or lace bat with clus- ters of flowers nestling among the soft folds, and of which the shops in the lead- ing streets have been full for the last week. Certainly the French modiste is most daring in the combination of colors she uses; but with it all her good taste never seeme to be at fault, and however glaring a hat may look in the window with three or four different shades of velvet or flowers put together as a trim- ming, yet when once it is on the head the colors seem to blend together, and the wonder is how one could ever have thought the combination hideous. Large hats were more generally worn than small ones on account of the protection offered by the former to the shower of bouquets which on more than one occasion has been most dis- aetrons to those wearing toques or small bonnets. Many provided themselves with petim-leaf fans as a shield, as a blow from a well -aimed bouquet of roses or violets is to be avoided as much ae posaible, and in many cases where only small heed gear was worn and no fans eters used, the recip- ients of the bouquets thrown came off very badly.—Nice Gazette.
