DECEMBER i0, 1880,

Opening of Parliament.

Tun representatives of the people of this youny nation met together, at Ottawa, yes- terday, under the most auspicious circun- stances. (There is plenty in the land, There is peace. Politics are calm. Commerce Is presperous. Though the cost of living has not been perceptibly increased to any ordinary family—thongh the burden of taxation is not felt to be heavier by the mass of consumers—a series of heavy de- ficits as been succeeded by a swelling revenve, and a great impulse has been given at once to the young and rising in- dustrics of the towns and to the develope- ment «{ the great natural resources of the country.

Uncer these circumstances, the Govern- ment }uet Parliment, yesterday, rejoicing in the confidence and sympathy of a large major. ty of the people of Canada, asking the re resentatives of the people to concur in the bargain by which the people will, to a certain extent, be relieved of the cost,

risk and responsibilities of building and mainte ning the Canada Pacific Railway. and directing their attention to the neces. sity ot Civil Service Reform, the improve- ment: f Criminal Law, the revision of the Jaws 1 ‘ng to Government Railways, and © hichly important subjects requir-

ing Pa liamentary enquiry and action.

lf ti > work indicated in the Governor- (rene? ech be not hindered by a too volub]) opposition—if it be perfermed in a statesn.aniike spirit, with an earnest regard

to the interests of the whole nation—the reauits of the present session of Parliament cannot be good and lasting. siaigh ta as Sir Charles Tupper.

NotHine, apparently, gives Sir Charles Tupper creater pleasure than to refute the ealuimnies of his enemies. His latest tri- umph bas been obtained in the matter of the ‘‘S-ction B. Slander.j’ There isa now confusicn and dismay in the camp of those ultra-T) pperphobists— the Toronto Globe, the Halifax Chronicle, and the Charloite- town / trict.

Hanlan’s day of doom is approaching. A Belleville clergymen has a presentiment, and that settles it. He says: ‘Ihave a presentiment that Hanlan will be defeated in the forthcoming race with Laycock, but never had it in connection with any of his previous races.” Judging from the way ithey invested their money, a good inany Ipeople had a similar presentiment before

Since 1850, the Lake of | Haarlam has been converted into a region | of farms and villages, and the pumping out } of the;Zuyder Zee, now to be done, will sur- pass in magnitude all previous endeavors, and give fresh force to Zeeland’s motto, Luctor et emergo.

A lady writing from Washingten says : ‘‘T am only slightly acquainted with Mrs. Gartield, bnt my impression of her is that she is retiring and ditident among stran- gers, not fond of general society, and that it would kill herin a year if she undertook what appears t» be no effort to Mrs. Hayes to perform. Mrs. Hayes haa a_ perfect physique and the most robust health. Mrs. Garfield is more fragile. Mrs. Hayes pos- sesses an exuberance of spirits; Mrs. Gar- field is subdued. The two women are s0 unlike that their administrations will be different. Mrs. Hayes’ popularity will never suffer by comparison with any one} who suceeds her. Her reign will always stand by itself, although her successors may } all be representative women of whom we may be proud.”

A carriage in the train bound from Vienna to Pesth contained one evening| lately five passengers—an Englishman, two Magyars, « mild-lovking man of 0, and a handsome young German, who seemed | dreadfully sleepy. he Englishman ob- served that the sexagenarian essayed to chat with the young German, who, how- ever, yawned, and soon silumbered. The sexagenarian became garrulous,and lament- ed his son’s carelessness in money matters. ‘*See him now, going to sleep in # car

riage full of strangers. I think I will give the young man a fright for once in his

life ;’ and lifting up the lapel of his coat, he laughingly drew out a pocketbook. At Pressburg the careful father said he must get out for a minute, but when the train moved on he didn’t return. When the young man woke up they told him that his father had got out and taken his pocket- book. ‘* My father!” he shrieked, and, clutching his empty pocket, burst intoa volley of most unfilial impreeation. ‘‘ I haven’t got w father,” he howled out. ‘1| never saw the old scoundrel before. Good Ged! that pocket book contained 3,000 florins. He must have seen it when 1 took my ticket.” Not unlikely. That genial sor disant parent has not yet been heard from.

Information Required.

DEFECTIVE ARRANGEMENTS RESPECTING THE ‘* NORTHERN LIGHT’ SERVICE.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

S1x,—The ‘‘ Northern Light” has now been plying between Georgetown and Pie- tou over a week, without any notice having yet been published by the Post Office De- partment regarding the closing of foreign mails. Nor has the new Superintendent of the P. E. Island Railway published a time table for the running of specia) trains in connection with this service.

Surely the public have a right to expect

Press, without being obliged to send mes- | sages several times a day to the different departments to hunt up what frequently proves to be unreliable information. Yours, &c., MERCHANT. Dec. 10th, 1880.
