IN the House of Commons, Lon-
don, England, Tuesday, an animat.
ed discussion took place aver the
conduct of the police in arresting 'a
young woman named Casa, who is
of pure reputation, as an improper
character. The debate resulted in
the defeat of the Government by a
vote of 10 to 148. The criticisms
of members were directed less
against the police authorities than
against Mr. Matthews, the Home
Secretary, who was accused of shield•
ing the officials. A number of Lib.
eral Unionists voted with the ma-
jority. It is expected that the de-
feat of the Government will lead to
the resignation of Mr. Matthews.
AN exchange says :—The Irish
Coercion Bill will very soon take its
place upon the statute book, and
once more the Parliament will put
faith iu force as a remedy for
wrongs endured. The most melan-
choly feature couneoted with the.
measure is that Mr. Bright, who
has spent itis life in proclaiming that
force is no remedy for grievances,
has nevertheless given throughout
the seseione his support to this
measure. The rule adopted is not
one law for all, but one law for
Great Britain and another . and
whollydifferent law for Ireland.
The wrongs endured by the Irish
people have been, as Mr. Gladstone
has designated them, a scandal and
a disgrace to other portions of the`,
UnitedKiugdom. Irelandis still
governed as a conquered country,
and ite people are still treated as an
alien and hostile population, that
have no rights that ought to stand
in the way of the landlord class,
Every nationality has its distinct
type of civilization, end the mischief
is that the Parliament at West min
filer endeavors not only to force
upon the Irish people a law and a
civilization which is alien to the
genius of the population, but to sub-
ordinate the rights of the people at
large to the interests of a few men
who are no mote entitled to goveru
Ireland than were the Turkish Pash-
as a half century ago entitled to
govern Greece. The Irish repre-
sentativee have asked for a policy of
conciliation. They propose loyally
to accept imperial union with local
Home Rule. They have been told
that they cannot be trusted, and
that they are traitors, That no com-
pact will be made with them, and
that they shall be allowed no voice
in determining how they shall in
future be governed.' This is not
conciliation but aggravation of ex-
isting evils, and no sane man can
doubt what the re,ult must be.
Seaforth.
The London and Seaforth lacrosse
teams met on the Tecumseh Park, Lon.
don, on Friday afternoon, and the match
proved very exoiting, although the visit-
ors appeured too fleet of foot for the local
players. The home team's checking was
more perfect than at their last match
with the Indian club. The first goal was
won by Seaforth in twenty-five minutes.
London took second in 20 minutes and
Seaforth the third in a similar time. The
referee called the game after playing an
hoar and a half, and declared it a draw
in accord with the rules. Following are
the players for Seaforth : C. Nopper,
umpire ; H. Strong, field captain ; T. F.
Coleman, 0. McKay, R. McLennan, C.

FALSE Ranson.—We have learned that
some evil disposed person, or persons, are
oiroulating a story that our well-known
Clydesdale horse, "Warrior O'Cree,"

a malicious falsehood, which can be prey;
en by the proper documents now in the
hands of the proprietors, or by reference
to the 811,. volume of the Clydesdale
Stud -Book. The horse is doing well and
this puny effort to injure him will fall

COUSIN ALEoa AoAix. Dear Mr. Editor
I hope you will not deem me obtrusive
for again asking space for this epistle in
your valuable paper. I desire with the
little time now at my disposal to speak
on a few more of the many subjects
which come before us from time to time
and demand more or less attention and
consideration. Since my last epistle
winter with its rude blasts has passed
away. Spring with its invigorating
. breezes has also came and gone "Wait
till spring comee" has been the watch
word that has kept alive a spark of hope
in many a fainting heart. Then too,
what a lesson it is to watch the branches
of the trees as they straighten themselves
out and prepare to bud at the earliest'
moment. The grass and the new sown
grdin shoot np as well making the earth
look beautiful. It is now the Bummer

bureau, so to speak. What a splendid ap.
portunity this affords our young men and
women for obtaining a store of knowledge
which will be useful to them on the farm
or elsewhere. Li early years it was quite
different there was but little time and
few opportunities for enjoying the oom-
forts and refinements of uooiety, such as
we have now, then it was a rough life
indeed, nutting down the dense forest to
effect a clearance. The task was success-

had to be endured and the present gene.
ration reap the bonetite of the hard labor
incident of those backwoods heroes none
should let these opportunities slip away
with indifference as brains must be used
more and more if we are to beep up our
end of the row" in this philosophic age.
This is about the season of the year when
we are called to perform Statute labor for
the keeping up of our roads, now to look
the matter fairly and squarely it is a
heavy direct tax that we are palled upon
to pay, and it should be the business of
all to see that itis net misplaced. Those
who pay hard cash for the same are quite
as much interested,in the method of ex-
penditure as those who perform labor
thereon. It appears to me that some
more systematic plan could be adopted
so that much more could be accomplished
and the work more satisfactorily done for
the same amount of expenditure, it is
plain to everyone who has occasion to
travel upon our roads that it frequently
happens in early spring, late in fall or at
any time after heavy rain storms that
ruts and gullies are formed by the action
of the water that could be mended imme.
diately after, by a very small amount of
labor, but being left until the time oomes
for the anneal performance of our Statute
labor becomes so bad as to require a large
amount of labor to mend them. Another
matter in connection with our roadwork
system is that of allowing every person
to perform his proportion of it by his own
labor or providing a substitute without
respect to his capabilities to perform the
same. It ±A' well known to those who are
accustomed to employ labor that some
men are worth as much again as others
but it is generally conceded that one
man's labor is worth as much as any
others for the work of Statute labor.
Another one of the evils of the system is
that the proportion which those not own-
ing property have to do is by half too
much, in comparison with;thatof proper-
ty holder's, so that taking it, all in all, I
am of the opinion that some other eystem
could be adopted whereby our roads
would be better looked after at hese ex-
pense. Another subject worthy of notice
is the hired man. In a majority of cases
too much is expected of the hired man,
ajgreat many resort to the "push system."
Although I never filled the position of
hired man, yet I was born and brought
up on a farm and being still farming I
have to do with hired.belp like others.
This way of calling the hired man at 4
a.m. and expect the unfortunate fellow to
push the work till 11 a.m. or 12 noon,
then bolt his dinner and push ahead•again
till 4 p.m. then swallow some more food
in the field and push on again until dark
or perhaps long after, is not by any means
the way to get the most work done,
besides, this push system has pushed
numbers of young men off the farm who
would have been ornaments to so.
ciety if the had received proper treatment
and fair play. How can a man stand
working from between 4 find 5 a.m. till
8 or 9 p.m. as some expect their hired
man to do? It is a mistaken idea to
think that more work can be done in this
way, it is quite the reverse and the work
in general is poorly done. Taking all
things into consideration, more, and bet-
ter work can be done in twelve than six-
teen boure. About this time a great
many town and city folk 'leave the hurry-
ing bustling street for a while and those
of them who do not care for the crowds
of watering -place hotels will go to the
homes of their farmer friends oracquaint-
enoes out in the oountry, whore they
will enjoy a change of air and mingle
with new scenes. It is a pleasing' duty to
entertain our "city eouneins" and is ge-
nerally a routes of great benefit to both.
The visitors will take great delight in na.
tures beautiful works; they will make di-
ligent inquiries about the trees, shrubs,
plants and grains as well as the mode of
farm work. They will inquire about
many things perhaps which have become
so monotonous in the sight of the farmer
that they sparely received a passing
notice, thie will lead us to study and to
investigate and we will find out many
things perhaps which it is important to
know. Then there will be the take on
matters and things concerning the town
or city as the ease may be, so that a few
days or a few weeks will be spent by all
in a very enjoyable way and many useful
lessons learned, and when the time comes
for going the thought ie not so muoh of
departureas when will they come again.
There in a tendency manifested by town
and oountry people alike to underrate the
importance of each other. Now whatever
evils may arise from this it is certainly
productive of no good and all such should
be dispelled from the mind when all class-
es are a necessity then they should go
hand in hand. Now, Mr, Editor, as all
my spare moments have fled for a time
and that and the fact that this is getting
lengthy I will stop with the intention of
writing again some time. Cousin ALocox.
