Tue criminality of allowing vicious cows to ran about our streets was nearly proven a few daysago.

SzveKaL noblemen in England are in the habit of giving special orders to makers in Virginia for their supply of smoking tobacco. There is no doubt that by that means they obtain the very best tobacco to be had, but it cost them $2 pound.

B. Holland, Erq, Mr. Francis Longworth, junr., Mr. Joseph Ball, Mr, Thomas Pethick, Mr. George Clark, and Mr. Henry Palmer—two former of whom were chosen Church Wardens, The question was then put, was it the sense of the meeting that an assessment should be made for the support of the Poor?

Lord Kandolphs Dictum. Lonpon, April 12.

The House of Commons was again devse- ly crowded this evening as a result of the widely extended announcement that Lord Randolph Churchill would attack Glad- stone’s Home Rule Bill.

Gladstone, in reply to questions, stated | that it would be impossible to close the de- | bate on his request for leave to-night, and that on this account he had decided to postpone introducing his Irish land pur- chase bill until next Monday.

Lord Randolph Churchill saii among other things that, after long consideration, he had come to the conclusion that the scheme involved such a complicated and in- extricable mass of contradictions that if anybody but Gladstone had proposed it, it never would have been taken seriously. He was frequently applauded by the Con- servatives.

Canadiau Pacific Loan, Toronto, April 12. A cable despatch says : ‘To-day Barings: the bankers, will invite applications {o- twenty million dollars of Canadian Pacific

terest at five per cent.” The of- ficial statement oof the Canadian Pacific Railway Company shows a net re- venue for the last year’s work of an incom- plete system of $100,000 in excess of the working expenses and all fixed charges. The opinion is that the issue will be a success.

Attempt at Murder and Suicide. Winpsor, Ont., April 12.

A desperate attempt at murder and sui- cide was made last night on the ferry steamer while it was lying at Detroit. The would-be murderer and suicide is named William Brown. He pulled a revolver, and after shooting a deck hand and passenger, attempted to shoot himself. Brown is 32 years old and a native of Montreal. He again attempted suicide at the hospital this afternoon.

A Liberal Opinion Lownpon, April 12. Mr. Broadhurst, ina speech at Birming- ham, said that on the [rish question the Liberals were at present divided, but that the principle of Home Rule would soon ba embodied in legislation which would enable the Liberal party to close its ranks and pro- ceed to other necessary reforms.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Publis Works. Sin,—The following paragraph appears at the end of an article in yesterday’s Put- riot headed ‘‘ not ordered to be printed.”’

‘‘There is too much hole and corner days-work going on. Even the bulk of the tender work, asa rule, mysteriously gets into the hands of Tory contractors.”

Does the editor of the Patriot mean to say that every five or fifty cent job of Gov- ernment work should be let by tender! If so, we can refer him to the time when a certain Grit was seen to leave his own premises with a carpet bag containing a few nails, screws, etc., and wending his way to the Previncial Building where he would manage and contrive to drive one nail 33, have a conversation with the S. P. M., and return home in the evening used up by the labors of the day, and at the end of the month certify his own account, for I would not like to say how much—the Public Ac- counts show that. As regard the tender part of the business, there is no difficulty in accounting for the work falling, to a very large extent, into the hands of the Tory contractors, for they are generally men who know how to make their calculations, do their work honestly and squarely, aod when they tender, do not make fifty cents repre- sent sixteen, as I noticed not long since in a list of prices published from a certain Gov- ernment work.

OBSERVER.

Six,—lIt is a sufticient commentary upon the intelligence of the ‘‘Opposition” in the City Council to say that ‘the party who was obliged to apply to me for literary assistance in‘the compillation of a few simple sentences” had sufficient ability to draft all the resolutions presented by those gentle- men last night. The opposition boasted that they represented a large majority of the wealth and property owners of this city. Developments this morning show that they represented but one man and that man was
