—Hon. Edward Blake is opposed to uniformity in the franchise of electors o! the House of Commons; and the Halifax Chronicle says:—‘**There can be no doubt that it (the franchise) should be made uniform throughout Canada so far as elections for the Dominion House are concerned’ A re-adjustment must evi- dently take place—somewhere !

He expresses himself very strongly on this latter point saying: “ It ever a child of mine shall thus die, no living soul, other than the undertaker, shall come to the fuueral, if I can pre vent it.” He appeals to his brother ministers of all denominations to lend their aid for the suppression of public funerals in diptheritic cases ; urges that Boards of Health should be

Dr P Hi.

Iriah Notes.

Archbishop McCabe’s illness has become more serious, and his condition now 1s re- garded as dangerous.

Two farmers have been arrested at New- town, Hamilton, County Armagh, lreland, in connexion with alleged conspiracy to murder Government officers.

Two thousand starving persons on the 8th, surrounded the hotel, on Glencolumb- kill, of Mr, Woodhouse, poor law inspector, and demanded employment.

A regulation, enacted some time ago, that military telegraph stations in Ireland should remain open all night in case of sudden necessity for despatch of troops, is now suspended.

Earl Spencer, the Lord Lieutenant, arrived in Dublin from London, on the | 8th. He was escorted from the railway

station by a troop of Hussars and was followed by cars laden with detectives.

The Lord Mayor of London, has a re-

| ceved a letter from Mr. O'Donnell, mem- ber of Parliament for Dungarvon, criticizing | his reply to a deputation which waited upon

him, on Thursday, to request him to open the fund for relief of distress in Ireland.

| Mr. O'Donnell says the Mansion House, in

its relation to Ireland, is a ‘‘ leech-sucker.”’ not a helper.

English and Irish detectives have arrest- ed Thos. Fitzpatrick in the parish of Poplar, England, and conveyed him to Ireland. He will be charged at Kilmainham Court House with complicity with other prisoners arrested for conspiring to murder Gov- ernment officials. Fitzpatrick is the former associate of Mullett. He was recently

| suspected of turning informer.

Mr. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Ire- land, in a speech at Hawick, Scotland, on the 8th denied the statements made that the diminution of agrarian crime in [reland was more apparent than real. He referred to the rapidity with which murderous crime had diminished, when it became apparent that the murderers weuld be executed. He denied that the government had sup-

| pressed freedom of speech or liberty of the

press. The government, he said, was ready to work with the Irish members of Parlia- ment in advocating a legitimate scheme of reform. Mr. Trevelyan stated that 90,000 farmers in Lreland had taken advantage of the arrears of rent act.

Parnell in a communication asking at- tendance of Irish members of Communs at the opening of Parliament next week says : ‘Events of the greatest impertance to Ireland will be discussed.” A preliminary meeting of the party will be held on the 14th inst., to consider the action of Irish members during the session. Parnell, writing to Joseph Walsh concerning a pos- sible vacancy in the representation for the County of Mayo, deprecates the election of

sick.

—QOne of the practical difficulties in the safe transport of live America to England is to secure sutlicient ventilation in rough weather. An inter-

esting experiment designed to obviate |

this inconvenience, has been made by the Warren Company in their new steamer the ‘“Vietoria,” trading between Boston and the Mersey. The vessel is fitted with four funnels—not in line, but in sets of two—one funnel inside the other, with a space of about 12 in. between. Con- nected with this heated chamber are air- shafts which communicate wiih those parts of the ship occupied by the live stock. The temperature of the chamber draws off the noxious gas, while, by means of ventilators, a constant down current of fresh air is maintained. Siuce this system was introduced, th

“Victoria” has made six voyages from |

soston. During the six trips the “ Vic-

toria” has delivered 7,846 sheep, and 3,211 cattle. Of this number only nine cattle have died on the voyage.

—In the Upper Provinces, Methodist Uniou is one of the great questions of the day, The basis on which it is proposed that the Union shall take place was pre- pared and agreed to by a joiut committee of the four Methodist Churches of this country viz: The Methodist Church of Canada, the Methodist Episcopal Charch, the Bible Christian Church, and the Primitive Methodist Church. It is opposed by some of the ministers; but

the laity aud ly far the larger population | country

of the University seem to be favorable to its adoption. The general coaference of the Methodist Episcopal Church have by a large majority, approved of the basis, and there seems but little doubt but that the Primitive Methodist and Bible Christian Churches will also accept it. Respecting the objectors the Berlin News says :—

‘*There are a few agitators in the Canada Methodist Church who are trying to pre- vent the Union. Weare extremely sorry to see it, and if they should be successful in defeating the consummation of the said Union it would be a sad day for that Church. The moral sentiments of the religions world would forever after be against it. The only real exception to the basis seems to be the financial part of it. If the fear of the probable loss of a few dollars a year to each of the claimants on | the Church funds is going to prevent this | union then surely the glory of Methodism

| innate ar acquired, | Among the canses which he gave as tend- | Ing to inerease the disease were over-study, | over-work, working unhealthy trades and occupations, mental trouble, immoral excesses amongst children, insufficient milk while sursing, artificial fe eding, too early weaning, leck of fresh air and exer- unwholes me food, excessive labor in large manufactories, abuse of alcoholic liquors

In connection with this statement of the causes of consumption, he gave some statis- | tics of the mortality caused by that disease in other countries. It must be evidenc, he remarked, from these figures, that the same causes producing such frightful mortality | among the children in Canadian cities | must, with additional others, tend to pro- duce consumption in later life. To show what is the result, especially from bad air, he gave statistics showing the influence of bad air. Thus the mortality in foundling hospitals in the towns of England shows a mortality of 72 per cent. of children under five years of age, while in hospitals in the country the death rate is only 114 per cent. The difference in this case must be largely due. he remarked, to the impure air and

lack of rooms in towns. _ Again, 74 per cent of the total mortality for 1875 in London for three summer months - was

of children under one year, and from diarrhcea.

bad food and water by their effects upon the digestive system: bad air, as shown in the decreased mortality on the introduction of good ventilation in the Dublin Children’s hospita]; early work and overwork amongst the poor, and working at unhealthy trades, are the chief factor which, added toa her- editary tendency, produce consumption, so fatal in towns, as compared with the Damp localities of residence, cellars, and unventilated spaces under houses, yet further add to the mortality of the disease, from which it is calculated one- iq of the whole population of the world ie.

Sir,—Will you allow me through your columns, to say to the many persons who send me anonymous letters giving informa- tion as to breaches of the Canada Temper- ance Act, that [ cannot act upon anony- mous information.

In opening the Provincial | Legislature, Governor Archibald, speak - | ing of the Government, said :~— ‘Agents of the Government were sent to London, fully authorized to give the Pro- | vincial guarantee of interest to the Nova | Scotia Railway Company upon the terms of | the Act ; but, although every opportunity | was afforded the Company, it has failed to | perform its part of the agreement.” Net many hours after these words | were uttered, a letter from Mr. E.

plained of has committed an offence, Now, I have no objection to assume that respon

sibility, provided I get information from some credible source. But I really cannot act upon information received from a letter of the alphabet.

At the same time I would say that the name of the person giving the information will be kept striotly confidential. No one will know it, except myself; but I must

any member who will refuse to take his seat if the time came for such member to retire from the House of Commons. He says they should do so in a body. He earnestly advocated the adoption of some system of pecuniary compensation to members. If the constituencies do not make_an effort in that direction he would be oblf®ed to con- sider whether they could persevere in the thankless task of endeavoring to keep together an independent Irish party. ~-nsieealitiestdnddiieiaae ies Nak
