Violation of the Independence of Parliament Act.

We have an Independence of Parliament Av‘. Our Assembly is supposed to be pure _-\9 momber receiving Government money fc a work don> for the Government. The p ible, we le love, holds this vew, and profoundly respects, the representatives o- tie po ple who sit there enthroned in purity, eonnecied in no way with Government work, but doing their duty patriotically for their country’s sake, W ithout any hankering after pelf. Now, we hive no disposition to dissipate a beautiful idea or disturb a pretty theory, even when It 1s false, provided it be harmless; but in the public interests 1t 1s oir duty to state that tae Independence o: Parliament Act is most egr gio isly contra-

yoasd, anl thw the purity of members ~* , ‘ " is fable. Fron the very Speaker of the

H 132 of Assembly down throug’ members va both sides of th: House. Tae Act pro viding for the Independence of Parliament is being violated. We have data for what w2 say. In the meanwhile we tarow out tiese hints in order that the guilty may roform and cleanse themselves, without puftmg us to the trouble of pointing out Pubticly the spots on their robes.

The Northern Ligut

Taz “Northern Light,’ according to re- cant infermation, is ten miles east of Pictou Ligit and two miles from the coast line. Sie is embedded in thick ice and complet - 17 powerless. As matters look at present, ailin the abeenca of a str ng southerly gale, the iceboat—c mstructed for the pur- pose of conquering the ice—will actually hive to be cutout of the ics. Verily Mr. McKenzie looks after public works and the jaterests of the Island admirably.

The Mesting Last Night.

A meetixs was held in the Market Hall last evening for the purpose of taking into consideration the action of the School Board in the contemplated erection ofa very costly building in a remote part of the town. This meeting, although largely at- tended, was not at all influential. Those who a ldresse 1 it on part of the requisition- ists objected chiefly to the site and cost of the Luldinz. To the first, besause th-y had to purchase ground for the site, whereas the Board had other grounds that were more eligible ; that the ground of the site would not support so large a building, a3 1t was marshy, and that tae locality was extremely unhealthy. Tothe second, because the suin to beexnendedon the building was more thanthe com amity could at present afford ; that even if the scrool was built, is would only render the saving of the rent paid fora few

shools in the city, and that it will not re- lieve tha payments tha‘ 1s male to the Motholiss Acalemy and 51 Patrick's Sshool. Now, thes2 are odjestions that should not ba overlooked by the Board; aul, when raised frona respecia le gouree, show.t receive more attention irom the Trustees than they did at the mecting last evenin?. ne simple question, we think, ghoild have been asked at the meeting, to this efe:t : Is the edifica to be erected by tender, or will it be a job fer two or three parties to swell their own coffers.

The business wa3 placed in charge of an assignee and was lowly but surely wound up, while the child- sen were cared for by the neighbors. Many were the conjectures as_ to the cause of his lisappearance, but no tidings were received ‘rom him fer several months, when one of ais former neighbors received a short epistle ‘rom him dated in South America, but arange to say, it did not contain any en- juiries as to his family or business. Last veek, however, he made his appearance at Farnham Centre, and toll a strange

STORY OF His ABDUCTION.

He says that on reaching Montreal he pro- seeded toa bank to realize cash upon a check he held. After transacting his business shere, and he was leaving the bank, he met a stranger, who asked him where ho in- ‘ended purchasing his goods. On his nam- ing the place he intended first to visit, the stranger said he was g ing to make some purchases at the same place, and they could so along together. Mr. Finlay then started of with his newly-found friend, and on passing on? of the numerous saloons his friend asked him to have a glass of ale. As the day was was warin he could nob refuse, ind they entered the saloon together. Wien his friend haltreated him he felt sompelled to return the compliment, and utter taking the second glass of ale he lost ill consciousness, and has no recollection of what took place for several days, when he found himself on board a steymer bound for South America. On reszhing port, he found another strang:r-friend who had been wquainted with his (finlay’s) mother, and his pleasing tales awakened many youthfal vecollections in his mind, and he was seized with a desire to visit his aged parent in ngland, whic he did, enjoying a Christmas

Farnham Centre, to find his family and his business scattered to the four winds. The facts of the case can be vouchel for by many persons in this vicinity, although the ‘‘stranga” partof the story may require considerable patching before it will hold water. One thing is certain, hal he wound up his business himself, he would have had suflisient to pay all his debts, leaving him a surplus for pocket money, so that he was not driven to abscond by pressing creditors ; and if his story accounts for his disappear- ance, it does not aezount for his remaining away so long. —Cowwansville Observer. - a

Camp Lifs o? Ri33sian Army O‘icres.

The life of the Russian offivers, as I have been able to observe here, away from the glitter of parades and the excitement of bat- tles, is occupied chiely by rontine duty, ter drinking, smoking, and card and billiard playing, proportiona‘ely in the order named. The duty seems hard and_ tedious, but to som? Amerieans it would seem harder to drink five or six large tumblers of tea three or four times a day. The ‘‘dentchiks” (of- ficial servants) dO nothing but attend to the making of tea and their masters’ pipes all day. Every time the officer returas to his quarters tea mus‘ be prepared and the long- stemm2d pipes ready to light, noS only for himself, but for any number of guests he may being with him. The tobacco used is always of Turkish brands, or a4 leas’ said as sneh. The Uxrane is a tobaceo-prolusing province, but the leaf cannot be enjoyed by anyboly beside the Ukraine people, with their horse-constitntions. It would be the height of impradence for anybody with weak lungs to ride in a smoking car in this re- gion, even for half a day, for fear of suffoca- tion, and a corpse exposed to the action of the smoke of Ukraine tobacco would be con- verted into a mummy in twenty four hours.

Russia and the Fenians.

he St. John Telegrap) says :—When we read in the editorial articles and corres- pondence ofa St. John paper that the Fenians owed their liberation to Russia, we thought that the remarkshad at least the merit of originality. At the celebration at Kingstown, at which the liberated Fenians were received, one Leahy, President of the 82 Club, said :—

Fellow-countrymen—l have very great pleas- ure in proposing that the best thanks of the frish people to bs given to the Kmperor of Rassia. (Cheers.) It is to the Emperor of 'Rassia, and not to the Engtish Government, ‘that we owe the liberation of the Irish politi- eil prisonirs whom we have welcomed this day. (UCheers.)

The Military Fenian, Private O’Brien, made an address, at the cloze of which cheers for Russia were given with a will.

The Bfiiacts of War.

Those who talk lightly of going to war dc not always stop to enqnire what the effects of a war must be even for Great Britain, which has the advant:g: of isolation. guarded by a powerful fleet. The Londor World says

“Tf war is the doom of England, its honor: will goto the aristocracy, its misery will de scend upon the masses, and its gains will fine their ways to the pockets of the Jews. Hun dreis of London tradesmen would discove: that it meant speedy and-irrecoverable ruin. The working classes, whether in town o: country, would discover that its influences would make them exiles to their native land. Eaormeously iacreased taxation, and price: fixed at prohibitory points, would go hand-in hand. ‘There would be misery, starvation :1 | emiyratioa on a seale as yet undreamed 0’, ‘There might be worse tuaa this. The ‘* penny lost” at eight pence might produce riots and disturbanees even among the peaceable cn: order-loving Eaglish masses. Our whole socia’ and political system would be subjected to e strain of such unprecedented severity that it: eapacity to hear ein only be con'ce’ural. Tur farmers would at first be gainers, for the v: Lic of wheat and grain of all kinds will speed.ly rise. But the gulf which used to separ:t: town and country interests is now almcs‘t com pletcly filled up, and the divorce that onc existad between commerce and agriculture ha been annuled. With the exception of a shor lived pecuniary gain accruing to the farmers it is impossible to menton any class, sav holders of certain foreign scrip, wo coule derive any alvantage. The country libover, like the city artizan, would be confronted by starvation. Prices would rise, and waze would fall. We should be assailed on eac! side by sinister rumors of urban disaTection and avrarian rising. The seas wonld swarm with Ala>amas, and the effect of these, and o° the immigration movements that would tak: place from this conntry would be to turn th: tide of prosperity back to America. oS

His eyes are the finest 1 have laminated . t'« Their light is a_ blaze, and The intellect ef th« His head is remarkably well balanced and does not look large, but it is large. He is about five feet nine inches in height, bat looks a iittle taller, especially wien speaking. He is perfectly upright in carriaze, and holds his head high and rather stiffly. His hands are large aud lock powerful. He strides rather than walks, and invariaby keeps up « good pace. His minnor of sp2ainy is cae - tially the House of Commons inauner, save that he does not drawl and does not indulge in the lazy ‘haw, haw’’ which characterizes the Pur- liamentary orator..
