Parliamentary Notes.

Sir Hector Langevin, replying to Mr. Perry, said the Government had no inten- tion of repairing West Point or Cascum- peque wharves in Prince Edward Island.

Mr. Welsh has given notice that he will move for an order of the House for copies of all correspondence, Departmental orders, reports and other papers relating to the dredging of the Harbor of Pinette.

f

A return brought down to the house shows the revenue for the period between Juiy Ist, 1886 and April 10, 1887, was twenty-six million dollars and the expen- diture twenty-four million six hundred thousand. For the corresponding period last year the revenue was $25,990,000 and the expenditure $27,550,000.

In reply to Mr. Amyot, Sir Adolphe Caron said it was not the intention of the Government to contribute by a grant of money or by a military demonstration or review towards the celebration in the sev- eral capitals of the provinces of the Domin- ion of the fiftieth anniversary of Her Ma- jesty’s reign, but leave would be given to any corps to join in any celebration they thought fit at the capitals or elsewhere.

One of the features of the Auditor- General’s report for the last fiscal year is the Government’s account for legal ex- penses in connection with the trial of Riel. Mr. B. B. Osler, Q. C., of Toronto, got $5,979, namely, for fifty-six days’ services at the rate of $75 a day, $4,200 ; also thir- teen days’ services at $100 a day, $1,300; also $479 for consultation and traveljing expenses. Mr. Christopher Robinson, Q. C., the leading Crown Council at Regina, got $100 a day for forty-seven days, making $4,700, and $292 for travelling expenses ; total, $4,992. Mr. T. C. Casgrain. of Quebec, the third counsel, got $2,629, namely, forty.six days at $50 a day, and | the balance for travelling expenses and consultation.

viitir Landing atthe West End.

Srr,—I consider making a landing at the West End of Water Street a decided improvement at a very small cost to the city. There is no sheltered landing at the West End of the city; so boats hitherto have had to go round to the south side, and at low water or half tide passengers have to scale up the sides of the wharves. This landing affords good shelter for boats when the wind is from south-east to south-west, when the wharves at the south side are completely exposed in stormy weather, boats will be able to run into this landing at low water or half tides. I would suggest that Mr. Connolly be asked to give the Street Committee permission to put a pair of stairs for the convenience of passengers landing at low water when the city landing cannot be reached by boats. I observe that the south end of Mr. Ings’ garden projects across part of the street landing in the shape ofa Y. Lam not aware if it is an encroachment on city rights by Mr. Ings, or if by his deed he has the right ; but if he has, lam sure he would allow the landing to be carried out parallel with the lines of Water Street. It would im- prove his property. Hitherto this place has been a receptacle for filth and rubbish, an unsightly place overgrown during the suminer with burdocks and where seaweed accumulated and decayed, emitting an un- pleasant smell, I should say injurious to the health of the neighborhood. It will not beso now as the ebb tide will carry it away when not taken up for use.

DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED SOLDIER OF THE, CRIMEAN WAR,

The Earl of Longford, whose death was reported by cable the other day, was a dis- tinguished soldier of the Crimean war. The Pakenhams, the family name of the Earls of Longford, have always had a bent for, military service. Sir Edward Pakenham, the British commander at New Orleans, an able general, though most unfortunate on his last field, was a son of the first Baron Longford and a brother of the first holder of the earldom. The deceased peer was born in 1819 and entered the army in his 18th year, as an ensign in the S2nd_ foot. In the following year he obtained a_lieut- enancy in the 7th fusiliers, and, having risen step by step, he went to the Crimea in 1854 as a lieutenant-colonel. In the fol- lowing year he was promoted colonel and ad- ju ant-general tothe British forces. Heserved with distinction throughout the Crimean war, and was present at the battles of Alma, Balaclava and Inkerman, and _ his gallantry was recognized by French, Turkish and Sardinian decorations. At the outbreak of the Sepoy mutiny, in 1857, he weat to India, where he remained for two years as | adjutant-general to the forces. On the death of his brother* in 1860, he succeeded | to the earldom and retired from active service. In 1866, on the formation of Lord Derby’s third administration, he accepted | a ministerial position as secretary of state for -var, retiring with his party two years later. In 1868 he was promoted a major- general, in 1877 a lieutenant-general, and in 1879 full general. He was placed on the retired list in 1881. The title passes to his son, Lord Pakenham, now in his 23rd year.

The Fisheries Dispute.

Mr. Secretary Bayard is reported to have said, in the course of an interview held a few days ago, that he was glad to note the in- creasing interest manifested in this subject. | He felt that the people of the country outside of Massachusetts had never realized its im- portance, or appreciated the gravity of the alternative left to tie administration. A de- claration of non-intercourse— if it failed to effect a peaceable adjustment of the difficul- ties between the United States and Great Britain respecting the construction of the treaty rights of our fishermen. It is doubt- ful, he said, if the interests of San Francisco in maintaining her present source of coal sup- ply from British Columbia, aside from the im- portance of the great Chicago business connec- tions with Canada and of the vast trade that ebbs and flows across the three thousand miles cf our northern bounday, do not exceed the interest of Massachusetts in the results of the application of such an alternative as com- mercial! non-intercourse. The negotiatlous with Great Britain on this subject were, he said, progressing, and the Secretary hopes they will result in a harmonious and satisfac- | tory understanding between that country and; the United States. — oe THE power of a magistrate to commit pat ties charged with violation of the Scott Act to jail for refusing to give evidence against themselves, is being argued at Fredericton. ——— i THE anpual slaughter of brakemen in coup- ‘ing cars goes on. The Railroad Gazette es timates the probable annual casualties in this way at 459 killed, 4,073 severely injured and 13.780 slightly injured. Here is a total of 18.302 killed and wounded in the United states in a single year while coupling cars—a ss one-half greater than that sustained by the United States army at the great battle of | the Wilderness.

Last Friday afternoon, Mr. Josiah Dough- erty, of Toronto, had picked up some pars- nips that a farmer had thrown over the fence. and brought them home for his wife to eat, As she had formerly asked her to.’o so, Mrs Yongherty end a neigh) or’s daught #,Coristina McKay, ate some of the parsnips, «hich in vediately made them sick. sir.

persons at Wolverhampton, Eng., a few days ago. Referring to Mr. Gladstone, he said no other great leader had ever launched a great issue or fought for a great cause with spirit so entirely forgetful of his own personality, and so entirely shutting out the mean and ignoble considerations which seemed to efiect ignoble minds. The Crimes Bill, continved the speaker, awakened tens of thousands of Liberals to what they did when they rejected Mr. Gladstone’s policy. He repudiated the accusation that the Liberals countenanced violence and obstruction in Parliament, and that they allied themselves with men whose hands were stained with outrage, He re- minded Mr. Chamberlain that he, in the Fort- nightly Review for February, 1586, advised that the Parnellite leaders be taken into the councils of the Queen. The Round Table Conference had been suspended because Mr. Chamberlain, though conciliatory in conclave, continued in speech and letter publicly to re- vive the old bi terness. The Union:s's pro- posed to settle the question by ignoring five- sixths of the Irish people, and dubbing their trusted representatives ruffians. On tne fringe of every popular movement were some bad men, but it was a mistake tocall the Irish-American Home Rulers the scum of the earth. The Chicago convention had resulted

_in the defeat of the party of violence. The

testimony even of prejudiced witnesses was that they had to deal, not with ruffians, but with all that was best and most honorable, and most country-loving amoung the masses of respectable men in America, (Cheers. ) cc A oR

] cor acquainted with a young widow who lived with the step-daughter in the same house. I married the widow; and my father fell shortly afterwards in love with the step-daughter of my wife, and married her. My wife became the mother- in-law and also the daughter-in-law of my own father. My wife's step-daughter is my step-mother ard I am the step-father of my mother-in-law. My step-mother,who is the step-daughter of my wife, has a_ boy, he is naturally my step-brother, because he is the son of my father and of my step- mother, but because he is the son of my wife’s step-daughter, so is my wife the grand mother of the little boy, and I am the grand-father of my step-brother. My wife has also a boy, my step-mother is con- sequently the step-sister of my boy and is also his grand-mother, because he is the child of her step-son, and my father is the brother-in-law of my son, because he has his step-sister for a wife. I am the brother of my own son, who is the son of my step- mother; my wife is the aunt of her own son, my son is the grand-son of my father and I am my own grand-father.
