House of Assembly. April 12.

Yesterday afternoon the House sidered the Act respecting the practice f surgery and medicine until six o'clock. \fter recess, the bill was reported agreed to with certain amendments, and ordered to

A bill for the incorporation of the Souris Driving Park Association was referred to the Private Bills Committee.

The Act respecting the representation of the people in the Legislature was further considered antil half-past eleven, when progress was reported and the House ad- jouraed,

Mr. H. C. McDonald asked the Commi- ssioner of Public Works if it is the inten- tion of the Government te place, this com- ing summer, in substantial repair the wharf at or near McAuley’s, Pinette, in fulfilment of the promise of the leader of the Govern- ment and Commissioner of Public Works, made in 1888; also if it is the intention of the Government to call for tenders this season for the purpose of repairing the wharf at Belle Creek, Lot 62, as urgently required; also, if it is the intention of the Government to place the wharf at Alex- andria, Lot 49, in good and substantial re- pair this season.

Hon. Mr. Bentley replied : It is the con- tention of the Guvernment that these wharves, as well as many others in this Province, properly belong to the Dominion Government, and shouli be kept in repair by them; but pending a settlement of the question the present Government have decided to keep such of them in repair as are necessary to give accommodation for shipping to our farmers. Therefore the wharves named by the hon. member will doubt receive attention as well as others. I positively deny making any pro- mises in 1888 or at any other time about those wharves, and challenge the hon. member to give the proof of his assertion.

Mr. Farquharson asked if it were the intention of the Government to open a road from New London Road tu North Rustico Road ; coming cut near Laird’s Mill.

The Commissioner of Public Works replied that no petitions had been pre- sented to the Legislature concerning the

roposed road.

Mr. Matheson asked the Commissioner of Public Works to lay on the table a state- ment showing the number of tenders received for building of Kildare Bridge, the name of each tenderer and the sum named in each tender. Also the amount paid for inspecting said work and the amount paid for extra work.

Iion. Mr. Bentley said that the statement would be submitted.

Mr. J. R. McLean asked why the corres- pondence in reference to several matters in his district had not been laid upon the table.

The Commissioner of Public Works re- plied, presenting the papers referred to.

The House then went into committee on the bill to incorporate Mark Wright & Co. (imited)—Mr. McLellan inthe chair. The bill was reported agreed to.

The House then went into committee on the bill to incorporate the Bensvolent Irish Society of Souris—Mr. Montgomery in the chair. The bill was reported agreed to with an amendment.

Mr. Sinclair presented a bill to incorpor- the French River Hall Co. Read a first time.

Hon. Mr. McLeod presented a bill en- titled ‘“‘An Act respecting elections of members of the Legislature.” Read a first time.

From my note book I quote the following interesting extract which is there given to Ulustrate **the good of evil”: When the minarets of Asia sparkle in the morning's rays, the vultures, crows, storks, ibises, set out from their balconies on their various missions; some to the fields to destroy the insects and the serpents; others alighting in the streets of Alexandria or Cairo, hasten to accomplish their task of municipal scav- angering. Did they but take the briefest holiday, the plague would soon be the only inhabitant of the country. If the sun is punctual in fertilizing life, these scavengers —sworn in and licensed by nature—are no less punctual in withdrawing from his rays the shocking spectacle of death. Seeming- ly they are ignorant of the importance of of this function. Approach them and they will not retreat. When they have received the signal from their comrades, the crows, which often precede them and point out their prey, you will see the vultures de- sceuding ina cioud from one knows not whence, as if from heaven. Naturat-y soli- tary and without communication, mostly silent, they flock to the banquet by the huudred, and nothing disturbs them. They quarrel not among themselves, they take take no heed of the passer-by. They imper- turbably accomplish their functions in a stern kind of gravity, with decency and propriety; the corpse disappears, the skin remains. Ina moment a frightful mass of putrid fermentation, which man had never dared to draw near, has vanished—has re- entered the pure and wholesome current of universal life. The vulture is an offensive bird, and typifies moral evil. Like moral evil it has to accomplish good. Tyrant kings, brutal soldiery, our dishonest specu- lators, what have they, the high priests of moral evil, been compelled to accomplish in spite of their own designs? They have been used by nature as vultures. They have cleared the way for settled govern- ment, strong laws, railways, roads and ciyi- lization.

Among many instances drawn from natural history the Secretary Bird is used as a symbol of the destroyers of evil. This bird is found upon the dry plains of Southern Africa, where it wages an incessant and deadly war with the irfinite multitude of snakes and reptiles of all kinds with which that region abounds. Its wings which are of large size, and covered with large quill feathers, are further armed with blunt strong spurs at the wrist joint, and these wings the bird holds before him like a shield, keeping them in continual agitation, sparring, as it were as he advances sidelong towards his intend- ed prey. His long legs which enable him to run with rapidity, also give him a great advantage in this mode of attack, by raising his head to a safe height from the ground ; and as he gradually approaches the snake, he watches carefully for the moment when the latter is about to spring upon him, and to fix his poisonous fangs in some vulner- able part of its adversary’s body. But this is usually a vain attempt; as the reptile dashes upon its enemy, a sudden and most violent blow from the bird’s armed wing throws him writhing upon the ground, and this process is repeated if the snake be strong enough to return to the attack. After reducing his foe to a helpless con- dition,, by these tremendous blows, the bird like a victorious gladiater, proceeds to dispatch his opponent, whom he swallows whole if of convenient size, or tears to pieces if too large to be disposed of at a single gulp. He has sometimes been seen to carry up a soake which refused to die easily, to a great height in the air, and then et him fail to the ground. He confers | great benefits upon the inhabitants of a | region so overrun with reptiles as Southern Africa. It is somewhat difficult to under- stand the reason for the création of these poisonous reptiles as also it is to account for the introduction into our world of moral evil and its mischievous progeny. The Secretary Bird may be taken tv illus- trate the very important truth that although wature has produced and does rear evil things she also provides adequate means for their destruction. To help in the des- truction of noxious reptiles we have the Secretary Bird. For the purpose of com- bating the .vices we have the teacher aud

the reformer.

poisonous snakes can be impunity. It is neither acrid nor burning, | and only produces 4 sensation on the | tongue analagous to that caused by greasy | matter. If healthy, there is a power with- | in us to neutralize the operation of this) poison, and to reject it. The mind p ssesses | an analagous power. It may imbibe moral poison, but, if in- a healthy condition, it will not appropriate it into the system. x %

Sparrows are regarded as the models of impertinence. A certain writer calls them a tame, troublesome and impertinent gen- eration. They nestle where you don’t want them; they stop up your stoves and water pipes with their rubbish. and build in the windows and under the beams of the roof, and would stuff your hat fall of stubble in half a day if they found it hang- ing ina place to suit them. They are extremely pertinacious in asserting their right of possession, and have not the least reverence for any place or thing.

FY

This is the uncomplimentary way in which the sparrows’ cbirrup is spoken of : ** Of all the Babel confusion of bird tongues there are few more displeasing than the sparrow’s. All the boorish vulgarity of his nature is expressed in that tone. It is true to the sparrow himself it sounds like music. He never tires of repeating again and again his shrill chirrups, though no one calls Da Capo; and, to the despair of all Jovers of harmony, makes himself heard loudest just when one one of his race, en- dued with the gift of song, is about to re- joice the listener. But so it is the only true nobility, that of genius, is what the plebian always hates most. Sparrow, and nothing but sparrow, such is the levelling system of these sans culottes.
