tical character were the electious won by the Government. The Opposition bave nothing to brag al except the intro-
duction of the dark lantern into political contests, and nothing to agitate which is likely to disturb greatly the calm of the Ministerial beuches.
The measures to be brought forward
y the Government are merely of an amending and reforming kiod. There will be no very radical changes; but there will be a good many improvements Our magistrates—or at least them who do avy magisterial work—wi!! be relieved to hear that the statutes of the Dominion are to be coucolidated, and revised
those of
if our local statutes were only ind made consistent with the laws oi the General Parliament, they would be happy.
The Fravchise Bill will again be in troduced, and will probably pase. The provisions of the Bill are, practically, tor furming districts, almost as liberal as those of this Province, under which our Dominicn members have heretofere been elected. Every farmer, and in almost every case, every farmer's sop, will still possess the privilege of the tranchise ; aud we trust that a special provisioa will be made that every man who now has the privilege ot votiag shail hold it. **Ouce @ voter, always a voter,” is a priaciple laid down by the best consti tutional writers. A man who has a political right should aot be deprived of it unless he has himself forfeited it by reasou of some bad act of his own.

Several measures to provide for the
further development of our. great Northwestern country are promised; aid the advisability of having a
geveral bavkruptcy law is io be con sidered. lo this age of keen competition and somewhat lax commercial morality, some honest traders are forced to the wall by the overpowering strepgth and numbers of their rivals, aud there are a good mavy careless aud dishonest oneswho “fail” as a matter.of course. However prosperous the country, bankruptcies will occasionally take place ; and, while they have the power to do so, baukrupts_ will make undue preferences to one or more of their creditors. We have had some examples of this kiud of dishonesty in this Province. It is therefore necessary, as it is certaimly just, to protect the honest creditor. But let the law for that purpose be as simple and as strin- gent as possible.
-- Le mow eo
~— We should like to see selections auch as the following in the class books used in our common schools :—
** Happy the man whose wish and care, A few poternal acres bound, Content to breathe his native air
Io his own ground.
Whose herds with milk, bread, Whose fl cks supply him with attire, V7hose trees in summer yield him shade In winter fire.
whose fields with
Blest, who can unconcern’dly find Houra, days and years slide soft away, in health of body, peace of mind, Quiet by day.
Sound sleep by night ; studv and ease Together mixt ; sweet recreation And innocence, which most does please,
: With meditation.”
These lines were, of course, written a long time ago, and by a very small boy.
Nowadays, happiness is sought (but not)
often found) in deserting the “ paternal acres’ as soon as possible, and going out into the world to sel! and buy, or “practice a profession”; while nearly everyone wants to get rich and * promi- nent.” There are, however, some who have the wisdem to stick to the farm, aud perhaps a few who live as though they prize a quiet mind more than great wealth.
— Attention is being paid of late to the subject ofthe proper disposal of foe- cal matter in cities aod ‘owns. The Monetary Times says that Mr. Allan ‘iacdougal!. C. E., in the course ot his lecture before the Sauitary Association, entitled ‘Sewers and Sewarage,’ stated that the dry earth system is the oldest sanitary system which we could trace. *The numerous privies and outhouses in towns and cities are a frightful source of disease. Afier they have been in use} for a numberof. years the soakage will extend to uo area sufficiently large to reach the welis io town lots. The dry earth sys'em of closets is the best system of dry sewerage and will not en- dauger the pubiic health.” He produced a working model of *Heap’s Patent” Dry Earth Closets, as erected on the Toronto Exhibition Grounds, last September, by Mr. Wm. Heap of Owen

Mr. James Anthony Froude explains his proposed trip around the world as follows : ‘*T have grown tired of the chatter that my last volumes on Carlyle have brought forth, and I thought that in six montks, at any rate, the world would ferget the exist- ence of so unlucky a person as the biographer of Carlyle.” To which a friend replied, ‘* Impossible ; your book sells too well,”
The Winnipeg Times, of 15th instant, reports the arrival in Winnipeg of the first car load of coal from the Crowfoot Crossing, near Calgarry, and adds :—*‘It is a remark- ably fine specimen of oxygenated bitumin- ous coal, belonging to the tertiary period and not the cretaceous period. It is non- caking, and will not do for gas working purposes, but it is a good blast furnace coal. A test will likely be made in a few days by the C P. R. authorities. It is probable that several more car loads will soon arrive.”
A man named Tupper, residing at Ber- wick, N. S , met with an accident ov Sun- day afternoon that resulted in his death. He started lone on a shooting expedition in the morning, and it is supposed that, while returning towards home in the after- noon, his gun was accidentally discharged and the contents passed through his body. When his remains were discovered near the Mevhodist camp-meeting grounds it was found that the ball from the gun had entered at cne side, beneath the arm, and came out above the shoulder on the other side.”
