Under their egis jthe ‘‘pent up” laborer and artizan of the | Ola World ought to feel secure in removing their penates across the Atlantic. Our bread acres and sunny skies invite them to our hospitable shores; our cold winters they need not fear. The aged may not, perhaps, enter the ‘‘promised land” ef ease and pros- perity, but they will have the consolation of knowing that those who come after them will live to inherit something better than they could at hone. In the Mother Coun- try there are thousands who would do well amongst us—better than they can in Eng-

land. The attachment to one’s native land is, I know, very strong ; but on this side of

the water our institutions are the same in spirit, if not identical in form. The Cum- braes are historical, but the honest, indus- trious, old countryman will soon find him- self here among friends, and his prayers bring down the promised blessing as readily as in North Briton, Wales, Ulster, or York- shire. Here we have room for the energy and ambition of the yeuth of our father- land. Let us, therefore, hope that good will result from Earl Derby’s address.

Our Washington Letter.

Wasuincton, D. C., Feb. 13, 1579.

It has now come the turn of the Democratic ox to be gored, and the strange failure of Pel ton’s memory with what he and Weed ae. knowledged, added to what Marble didn’t ac- 'knowledge and Tilden didn’t know, have formed the staple ef political discussion for the past 48 hours. ‘This diversion has, perhaps, come very opportune to the Republicans, rent and torn asunder as they were by the demor- alizing family fight over the N. Y. Custom House nominations, from which they have just emerged with victory perched on the Ad- ministration banners and the colors of Mr. Conkling trailing in the dust. If Republican Senators fairly reflect the sentiments of their respective constituencies on this matter, we must suppose President Hayes and Secretary Sherman have won a victory which a majority of their party had preferred to have been a a defeat. Of the 33 votes recorded in favor of the confirmation of Mr. Merritt, 20 were Democrats and 13 Republicans ; while against it there were 18 Republicans, 5 Democrats, and 1 Independent, which, it is almost super- fluous to say, was David Davis, of Lilinois—24 in all. However, I believe Republicans are generally glad that they can at last wash their hands of a fight which partisan interests dic- tated should never have been made, and which left no margin of profit to any but their oppon- ents. Mr. Sherman seems to have been moved to make public the letters from Cabinet and other oflicials, soliciting places, under Collector Arthur, for favorites or friends, or others who were thought entitled to reward for political, personal or other service. These letters were

i

‘| read at the long executive session of the Sen-

ate which culminated in contirmation, and form the basis for many not over-complimen- tary reflections heard on the difference they were alleged to have betrayed between theory and practice, as applied to the reform of the Civil Service. In the face of the President’s famous Civil Service order, it must be acknowl- edged that his request for the appointment of Howard, the Presidential biographer, to a very responsible office, looks a little inconsistent on the face of it; and the Secretary will find it a little difficult, probably, to make the ‘‘mani- fest reasons,” which he hoped would lead to the appointment of Justice Bradley’s son to a place in the N. Y. Custom House, appear any other than those growing out of a vote of the father on the ‘‘8 to 7 Commission,” to many Democrats. The letter last named has been given to the press, but no explanations accom- panied it other than those deducible from its text.

The action of the Democratic caucus on Saturday night is construed, by Republicans, to mean an extra session of Congress for the distribution ef the Senate offices, which will fallto them after March 4th. It is evident to everybody acquainted here, that about a score of Democratic wayfares for every office to be

The restricitive action taken by the British authorities against the Importation of Ameri- can cattle, has aroused a good deal of resent- ful feeling, and it finds one form of expression in schemes of retaliatory legislation urged on Congress.

The proposition for a revision oi the sugar tariff to come up to-day in the House, will likely lead to a stubborn fight from the mag- nitude of the diverse interests involved,

The riders with which it is proposed to load down some of the appropriation bills makes their failure a foregone conclusion if it is still persisted in.

The bill for the distribution of the balance of the Geneva Award seems to have been lost sight of among the vast number of jobs striv- ing for precedence before Congress.

‘*To the circumstance of Hler Majesty selecting Ottawa as the eajial of Canada, this city is indebted for its crowning orna- ment. But magnificent ». ‘.> Parliament buildings are, the site upon which they worthy of them. The combination of both is very striking when viewed from anv point of the compass north of east and west. On the face of the cliff upon which the Parliament build- ings are built has been constructed a path lo- cally called the lovers’ walk, on account of which name, I am told, lovers carefully avoid it. From this path a view is obtain- ed of the surrounding country of great ex- tent and grandeur, and in the summer time this view must be very beautiful. The city of Ottawa is believed to have a popula- tion at present of some 30,000. The census of 1871 accorded it a population of 21,545, of which number 8,021 are of Irish origin, 7,214 of French, 8,721 of English, and 2,- 585 of Scotch. Adherents of the Church of Rome numbered 12,783 when the census was taken; of the Church of England, 4,- 274; of the Presbyterian Church, 2,298; and of the different Methodist bodies, 1,520, From some pamphlets I lit upon in the Parliament Library I gather that the first settlement of this district was affect- ed in 1800 by a Mr. Philemcn Wright, of Massachusetts, who cleared the country and conducted farming and milling operations on an extensive scale. A grand- son of his is at present member of the Do- minion House of Commons for Ottawa County—Mr. Alonzo Wright, better known as ‘‘the King of the Gatineau.” Bytown as this place was originally called, after Colonel By, R. E., who identified himself closely with it, became a city in 1826. The name was changed to Ottawa in 1854. The corner stone 6f the Parliament buildings was laid by the Prince of Wales in 1860, and since then, greatly owing to the pros- perity of the lumber trade during the sne- ceeding twelve years and in no small de- gree to the fact of its having become the seat of Government, Ottawa has assumed all the outward aspects of a thriving city.”

The Pope as a Poet.

It was well known, beth in Rome and England, when Cardinal Pecci ascended the Papal throne as Leo XIII. that he enjoyed a reputation for sound and elegant scholar- ship, but it was not then known that he was a poet. The Pope, however, has lately been given a proof at once of his scholarly attainments and of his poetic powers. The occasion has been a recent visit of a certain well-known photographer to Rome in order to take new and anthentic potraits of the Pope and other members of the Roman Curia. The object of this visit having been attained, and some excellent negatives having been taken, the Pope wrote the fol- lowing lines, which are at once thoroughly elassical in expression and also ecclesiastical in their form, being a close imitation of the rhythm and metre of the hymns of the Western Church :—

““ARS PROTOGRAPHICA.

‘* Expressa solis spiculo

** Nitens imago, quam bene

‘* Frontis decus, vim luminum ** Nefert et oris gratiam.

‘**O mira virtue ingeni ! ‘*Novumque monstrum imaginum ‘t Nature: Apelles cemulus

‘**Non pulchriorem pingeret.”

Miss1ine—There were two individuals in Halifax last week for whom there are vacant chair at their respective dinner tables now. One had figured in various capacities, but latterly as a bar-keeper for the other, who occupied his time lately as a bock-keeper for a firm in the city. Pressing engage- ments necessitated their presence elsewhere, and they left in Sunday’s steamer for New York, with the usual army of mourners to lament their departure.
