This is the only School in Canada that has passed pupils at a University Examination.

The number of pupils is limited, rendering 7 School select, and while regi all the educational advantages of a las blic school each pupil. iscemahboiairaadl individual care and oversight which is so important, and which cannot be given ina larye establish- ment.

Deat’s Boomina.—The Quebec Chronicle4

contains the following :—‘‘It is reported that one of the largest milling establish- ments in this district has just concluded asale of the whole or a large portion of its manufacture of pine deals for the coming season to a London firm. The prices have not transpired, but are thought tv be in the neighborhood of $104 for first quality, and twe-thirds and one-third for secends and thirds respectively. There is a brisk en- quiry for pine deals in this market, and prices, if not the highest ever touched, are within a fraction of those realized in 1873. Some transactions have also taken place in spruce deals at better figures than for some years back; and altogether the prospects of this trade are very satisfactory.

Frencn Duties on Fisu.—The Parlia- mentary committee onthe new French Tariff Bill have had under examination the proposed duties on foreign fish, and have adopted the subjeined rates: Fresh, sea, or river fish, 2f. 50c. per cwt.; for dried, salted, or smoked fish, the Government had proposed to tax cod 24f. per cwt., and all other fish 5f. The committee include steck fish in the tariff for cod, and create an intermediate rate of duty 10f. per cwt. for sardines and anchovies. Fish bined or otherwise preserved in its natural state, charged 5f. in the Government scheme, is raised by the committee to 12f. 50c.; the rate of 1f. 50c. per thousand fresh oysters is adopted, *but that of 5f. per cent. for preserved oysters is raised by the com- mittee to 12f. 50; fresh lobsters are to be taxed 2f. 50c. percwt., preserved 5f.; whale fat, crude 2f. per cwt., pressed 5f., refined 7f. 50c.

The N.P., and a“ Ruined” Industry.

(Toronto Mai.)

If there is one question more than an- other regarding which New Brunswickers denounced the Finance Minister, it is the injury inflicted by the new tariff on the ship-building industry. The Opposition press, from St. John to Sarnia, has been howling about deserted ship yards, starving shipwrights and general desolation in that industry. The St. John Telegraph, which led the hunt, tells, however, a very differ- ent story. Its own words carry its strong- est condemnation : ‘‘ During the past year there has been a total increase of 35 vessels of 16,344 tons.” St. John at present owns 739 vessels of an aggregate tonnage of 281,- 178. This is ‘‘ larger than it has veen at any peried in its history,” is the astonish- ing conclusion arrived at by the Telegraph.

Nhe Horald on Mr. Parnell.

The New York Herald winds up an article on Mr. Parnell’s first meeting with the fol- lowing eminently sensible remarks, which are quite as applicable to Canada as to

the United States :—

‘¢ Of course we de not withheld our own opinions on the question at issue. We have no doubt that they are such opinions as the great mass of the’ American people will endorse. There has been a large ex- perience in this country in raising money for objects connected with Ireland. When famine has overtaken that unfortunate™ country, American sympathy has needed but little prompting, and cargoes of food have been sent with ungrudging and pro- fuse generosity, citizens of all classes and all creeds vying with one another in lending a lielping hand to the good work. There have also been large sums of meney raised in this country ostensively for the benefit of Ireland, of which we will not undertake to trace the expenditure, but which certainly failed to bring the con- templated relief. The funds raised for the Fenians were wholly contributed by citizens of Irish birth. Nobody knows where the money went; but nobody will undertake to show that it did a particle of good to Ireland. It is not surprising that American experience in raising Irish funds has led our people to discriminate between the noble efforts of charity, which bore abun- dant fruit in teeding the hungry, and the political contributions ir: which the money given was like water spilled upon the sand. Our people will again give generously in proportion to existing necessity for al- leviating the threatening horrors of famine, but they will think twice before sending more money after that which was wasted upon the Fenians. If we are a genereus we are also a practieal people, and have little faith in Quixotic attempts made here to revolutionize a foreign country.

‘‘The land system of Ireland is a Brit- ish, not an American question, It must be ameliorated, if at all, by the action of the British Parliament. It is hardly de- cent for Amcricans to organize a crusade for dictating the legislation of a foreign government. The Irish agitation may or may not be proper enough from an Irish point of view, but it is nota fit thing for . the American people to enlist in. The in- dependence of nations requires that every people shall be left to manage their own domestic affairs without obtrusive foreign interference. We should certainly resent foreign attempts to control our legislation, and the duty of abscinence is reciprocal.

‘There is one way by which we can legiti- mately aid the ambition of Irish peasants to become land -wners. We have abun- dance ef fertile soil awaiting the hands of cultivators—far richer than any in Ireland —which can be bought for a great deal less money. We welcome the suffering Irish to this rich heritage, and will create a fund to defray the expenses of emigration. Those who leave will make better times for those who remain by relieving the Irish labor market of a surplus. This mode of relief for Ireland is both practical and legitimate, and we commend it to the con- sideration of Mr. Parnell.”

Remarkable Twins.

There is at present in Bombay a living ebject that might rightly be classed among the most curious phenomena of nature. At a house in Mazagon may be seen a pair of female twins, separate in every respect but from the breast bone to the lower part of the abdomen, which is closeiy joined. The upper breast bone of each infant is linked into the other, the outer skin cover- ing both trunks. The twins are joined front to front ; shoulders, arms, lower limbs and feet perfectly formed, and development healthy, while the heads are well shaped and the faces really pretty, with beautiful eyes large and bright. The twins are six months and twenty days old, are in perfect health, and measure twenty inches in height, one appearing—but in a very trifling degree—larger than the other. Both have vigorous appetites and take kind- ly to the feeding bottle, are extreme- ly lively, and appeared geod temper- ed. The pulses beat wm unison, they generally fall asleep or keep awake together, and their actions are usually sim- ultaneous, though semetimes ene wouid ery while the other was quietly drawing at the mouthpiece of its bottle. The strangely united pair were born in Dapooli, in the Rutnagherry Collectorate, the father being a Mahommedan and a sea-faring man, while the mother has besides a pretty little daughter of about ten. According to the former’s account, he called in a native doc- tor at Rutnagherry, whose opinion was that there was a connectien internally between the abdomen, so that of whatever waste. ance the one took a portion passed to the other. However that may be, the infants feed separately, each having a bottle to it- self, and draw vigorously at their nonri.h- ments. The same doctor also declared that it would be impossible to separate them without extinguishing life. The twins have up to this time never been ill, and to all appearance are likely te grow up.— Times of India.
