A Romantic Story.

Iw the following we give a brief synop sis of the beautiful romantic drama, ‘‘ Lacy of Lyons,” by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, being considered by many as his master-piece. The play deals with the ho bility and ‘peasantry during the French Revolution '

‘* Monsieur Beauseant, the son of @ marquis, loffers his hand to Pauline, the daughter of

trich merchant of Lyons; but is rejected. Living im the village .is young ¢ laude Melnotte, a gardener’s son who has seen and

fallen desperately in love with Pauline, who S flowers every day. Thinking that they were accepted he sends her some verses which refused with scorn. Beauseant meets him and _ proposes a scheme to ble Pauline, by disguising himself as a prince and marrying her—he nding clothes and equipage for the pur pose, providing on the day of his wedding he shall carry her to his humble cottage and re-

When Pauline discovers how cruelly she has

Pauline, dis

overing the true nobility of Claude's character, her love overcomes her pride. But Claude, wishing to be Pauline’s ual, through the aid of bluff Colonel

Dumas joins the army of France, becomes a great hero, and after two years absence eturns to Lyons—as Col. Morier. In the neantime the father of Pauline is about to ome a bankrupt. Beauseant, still urging

will give her hand to him the divorce is bout to be’ signed by Pauline to save her

An English View of Royalty.

It may be said, however, with perfect confidence that if the monarchy ever be- s unpupular in this county, it will be own fault, The pe yple want They are perfec tly well satisfied with a constitution which gives them’all the romance

CULIe the ruler’s noe change. of hereditary sovereignts com- bined with all the practical advantages of parliamentary government. The English people knew very well that from no sovere- ign of the illustrious house which sits upon the throne of these realms are they ever likely to have anything to fear. They knew also that the duties of royalty are at th® same time real and onerous; and that an English king or queen can perform the

services to the country, and exercise a species of authority, which we should ex- pect in vain from an elective chief magis trat Our constitutional sovereigns are neither absulute nor wunpotent. Within certain understood limits they wield a power which is often beneticent, and iS almost incapable of being abused. Even

the most uneducated classes in the country understand something of the truth. They know that the existence of the monarchy is a check upon those personal rivalries and antagonisms which too frequently distract republics, and that it is able to hoid at arm’s length both the oligarchy and the demucray.

Garden RS Eo the Fishery Question. ~YWERFUL ARGUMENT OF MR. GRAHAM IN THE ADAMS CASE.

\ Halifax despatch of the 3rd inst., says: ‘*Crown Counsel Graham commenced his argument in the case of the American schooner David J. Adams, before Chief Justice McDonald to-day. After recapitu- lating facts connected with the seizure of \dams and the law on the subject, the chief points of his argument were the great stress laid uponthe intention of thelmperial Parliament as regards ‘‘preparing to fish.” He contended that the great object of the statute was to prevent Americans making the British coast the base of their fishing operations. England wanted to assert un- disputed territorial control over three miles of coast and not only protect British fisher- men in the monoply of fisheries, but the monoply of bait and fishing supplies. (he statutery prohibition as,*‘preparing to fish” was the most comprehensive phrase that could be employed. The law was not framed with the idea of catching Americans in the aet of fishing, but to prevent their using Canadian waters for a to fish.

Chief Justice McDonald incidentally inti- mated that this view could fully controverted.

Mr. Graham continued,that if Americans were permitted to prepare inside the three mile limit to fish outside, they would al- ways have their intention of fishing out- side, and the whole object of the treaty and statute would be nullified. It matters very little where bait is to be used; the great evil to be remedied is the procuring of bait by Americans on our coasts.

Chief Justice Young’s judgment confis- cating the American schooner Nickerson was quoted, when Chief Justice McDonald remarked that the cases of the Nickerson and Adams were parallel, and if the Nick- erson was properly confiscated the case of the Adams was practically settled.

But, continued Mr. Graham, the counsel for the defence have not even shown that the Captain of the Adams intended to use bait beyond the three mile limit. It was an undoubted fact that fish would be caught wherever found, and Mr, Graham next

eeded to advance what the Chief Jus- tice declared was a new and striking point, iz: that the captain of the Adams actually inside the limits, inasmuch as he was responsible for acts of his agents, and he had employed men to tish for bait, taken these fish aboard and paid the men for their services. The counsel alsotook up the points made by the defence that Canadian laws on this subject were ultra vires, and that the Americans were given the right to pur- chase bait by arrangement secured by An- drew Jackson in. 1830. He argued that the Dominion had the sane power to make laws regarding the fisheries as the provin- ces had before confederation, and that pro- vincial acts were sustained by the highest legal opinion of England, and that Andrew Jackson's proclamation related solely to trading and not to fishing vessels. Gra- ham had not coneluded his argument when the court adjourned:

A brother of the girl was also arrested for inciting the crowd to violence against the police. Another daughter who denounced the treatment the family was receiving, was struck by a policeman and felled to the grourd. This waddened the crowd and they advanced to attack the officers. Michael Davitt, who was present, pleaded

with the people not to use violence and barely managed to avert a collision. After

the Liddy family were evicted the — police made an attack upon the house of Mac- namara which was strongly fortified, Crow- bars were used and a hole made in the wall. Macnamara’s wife and children in the house cried piteously until Davitt shouted words of comfort. |MeNamara was arrested for pelting the bailiffs with stones. The bailiffs smashed the furniture of the house eut of pure malice. The force after leaving the house proceeded to one occupied by a tenant named Hussey to eject him. It was thought that the poficewould have extreme- ly warm work befor®@ them. When the force reached Hussey’s house they were received with showers of boiling water, stones and bottles ; a swarm of bees was let loose on them. The tenants only desisted from pelting the bailiffs when the troops threat- ened to fire. The bailiffs demolished the walls and entered the house. The tenants held a meeting addressed by Davitt, who advised them to resist the evictions by all means. He defied the government to arrest him.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Unfair.

Srr,—Passing up Prince Street about 8 o'clock last evening (Sunday), I noticed near the Baptist Church a well-known er- ratic individual named McKinlay, harangu- ing an intelligent (?) audience. He _ pos- sesses anample quantity of the essential substance necessary for an itinerant mis- sionary (!), mamely, the giftof the gab. After a vehement exposition of his pet doctrine, the speaker was approached by two of our able policemen, one of whom pronounced the benediction with the eloquent phrase, **Move on, McKinlay.” The speaker donned his hat and hastily departed. I would suggest that on the next occasion the officer disperse the au- dience and allow Mr. McKinlay to run own.

Now, sir, lam strongly opposed to the hawking of religion about the’ streets, but if the Salvation Army and kindred horse- frightening institutions. are allowed the privilege, I cannot see the honesty of de- priving Mr. McKinlay of a similar favor. It would be better to either make the prac- tice lawful or unlawful.

A pespatcu from Whitewood, N. W. T., says Roderick McLean, a young man about 22 years old, a farmer near Lake Indian reserve, left home on Friday morning for the purpose of cutting poles for fencing. Not having re- turned that night, his brother sent a man to search for him. In the afternoon of the fol- lowing day he was found on the Indian re- serve, with his head split open. It is not known whether he may have been caught with the axe while in the act of chopping, or whether he met foul play.
