Bouncep ror THE TRuTH.-—~It is not always best to speak the truth, as evidenced by the following event in our city a short time ago, A rustic maiden answered the door bell at the residence of a citizen who occasionally tarried too long at the wine cup. The visitor asked if Mr. wasin. ‘‘ Yes,” said the domes- tic, “But he is sick.” ‘‘Oh! I am very sorry,” was the next exclamation of the gen- tleman; ‘“‘I hope it is nothing serious.” ** Not at all,” replied the servant, ‘‘ he is only deunk.” The pretty maid is now in quest of a situation where there is not so much oppo- sition toa servant who will speak the truth under al] circumstances.

GoLtp Frver Cootep.—A Loa Angeles de- spatch says that the Lower California gold excitement has been%cooled by the report that the stories were exaggerated, and that water ie growing searce. Several experts, in whom the public have confidence, have sent back discouraging reports, and many who were ready to start have decided to wait. “Several other colonies still have the gold fever, but it is dying out at Los Angeles. The report now is that the excitement was worked up by San Diego and Ensenada merchants who wished to make a protit from the outfitting business. It is estimated that Euzenada merchants have cleared $40,000° in transporting miners to the new camp andjfurnishing supplies. Trouble is feared when the army of swindled prospectors is forced to walk back.

A Rica Treat.—We are happy to announce that Mr. Frederic Villiers, the famed war cor- respondent of the London Graphic, will de- liver two lectures in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, Charlottetown, on Monday and Tuesday even- ings, April lst and 2nd. He will relate his thrilling experiences on many battlefields, wofusely illustrated by stereopticon views hon sketches taken by the lecturer on the spot. The subject for the first night is ‘‘War on a White Sheet,” and on the night follow- ing **Here, There and Everywhere.” The information imparted in these discourses is greater than can be obtained from volumes of books. It is very seldom our people are favored by the visit of such a famous lecturer, and we hope they will appreciate the occasion in a proper manner. Last night Mr. Villiers

lectured privately before the Governor- General and guests. ee Personal,

Summary of Proceedings,

Orrawa, March 13.

The Hon. David Mills to-day introduced a bill providing for the repeal of the acts respecting the establishment of a Depart- ment of ‘rade and Commerce, and the ap- pointment of a Solicitor-General. He said these acts had been passed for two years without being put into effect by the Gov- ernment, and he thought they should be repealed.

Sir John Macdonald said he would not discuss the matter now, but out of courtesy to Mr. Mills he would be glad to do so when the bill came up for second reading.

Mr. Skinner introduced a bill entitled an Actto amend an Act respecting the House of Commons. He asks that leave of absence fortwenty or thirty days may be allowed members of these bodies without and deduction from their sess‘onal allow- ance,

Mr. Ives’ motion respecting the appoint- ment of a committee to enquire into the ex- tent of Canadian traffic through the United States being called, Sir John Macdonald asked that it should again be allowed to stand.

After recess the House went into com- mittee on the bill to amend the act respect- ing Queen’s College at Kingston.

Mr. Kirkpatrick spoke in favor of the bill, of which he is the promoter.

Hon. David Mills opposed it on the ground that the subject was one for pro- visional jurisdiction solely, and upon motion for a third reading a division was called for and the third reading was carried by 104 to 35.

The House went into committee on Mr. Kirkpatrick's bill to permit foreign vessels to aid vessels wrecked or disabled in Cana- dian waters. As amended by the select committee to which it had been referred, the bill grants permission to United States vessels of all descriptions to render aid to vessels wrecked or disabled in inland waters contiguous to the United States, the Wel- land and the Sault Ste. Marie Canals being excepted. It is provided that the bill shall only come into effect when the United States grants similar privileges to Canadian vessels. The committee adopted the bill, which now stands for a third reading.

The House adjourned at 12.05.

Sir John gives notice to-night of a motion to take Wednesdays for Government busi- ness the rest of the session.

Mr. Cook’s bill to compel railway com- panies to draw up all passenger trains at platforms and prevent baggage smashing, was killed in committee.

A. W. Murdoch, of Toronto, is here to- day in connection with the paoposed steam- ship subsidy to the West Indies. He saw Sir John Macdonald, and in the interests of the St. John Transportation Co., urged that the subsidy be made $100,000 for the first two years in order that the line may be thoroughly established.

Fishermen Don't Like It. GLoucEsTEeR, Mass., March 13.

In discussing the resolutions presented in the Legislature, regarding an interna- tional law compelling ocean steamers to keep from crossing the fishing banks, fisher- men oppose it, saying nearly all men that get astray in dories while attending trawls are picked up by ocean steamers. Many instances are given where steamers have rendered valuable assistance to fishermen while in a shipwrecked and perishing con- dition. The belief is expressed that if fish- ing vessels used better signal lights, and had a regular method of signalling steamers at night or in a dense fog, many disasters could be averted.

A Good Suggestion.

Toronto, Mareh 13.

The Empire's cable from London says a suggestion has been made that leading Englishmen, whose position and oratorical powers would ensure attention, visit Can- ada and deliver a series of addresses in the various provinces on imperial questions. The Imperial Federation League is being urged to adopt the suggestion with a view to a visit by leading statesmen to Canada this season.

Western Union Dividend.

New York, March 13.

The Western Union Telegraph directors met to-day and declared a regular quarter! dividend of 1} per cent., payable April 15. The statement presented showed a revenue for the quarter ended Dec. 31st of $1,685,- 807, and a total surplus, after paying dividend just declared, of $8,383,908.

Placing the Blame. Baneaor, March 13.

The coroner's jury in the Maine Central disaster at Boyd's siding, returned a ver- dict to-day placing the blame upon Wm. H. Bither, an employe, who neglected to throw the switch back upon the main line after it had been set on a side track.

Crofters Coming. Toronto, March 13.

Between 40 and 50 crofter-*families, selected uader the state aided scheme, leave Glasgow for Halifax April 3rd by the steamer Corean. Every precaution is being taken to ensure no repetition of last year’s blunder.
