INFANTICIDE was terribly common in the northwest provinces of India during the year 1875-79. The Inspector-General of Police re- ports that no less than twenty-six per cent. of the female children born were killed. Among the poorer people a higher value is placed on the boys; and, therefore, when food is insuficient tor all, the girls must suffer mest.

Can THis bE Troe?--London 7'ruth says : ‘It is no secret that the Princess Louise re- turned to Canada with great reluctance. She complains of her utter isolation there, arising from the want of congenial society, there being few outside her own house with whem she has two ideas in common. ‘The Princess will pay another visit to England in the au- tumn.”

A xuMbgR of Irishmen held commands in the armies of both Chili and Peru. The Chief officer of the Peruvian artillery is Col. O’Horgan, and according to the Gazette, of Lima, there are five Majors, thirteen Captains and over two-score of oliicers of inferior grade, either lrish by birth or descent, fighting in the army_of Peru, while the Irish element in the victorious forces of the hostile Republic is even greater.

Tue Iron Trape.—The Pall Mall Gazette says the American demand for iron is causing unprecedented activity in Great Britain. Four vessels loaded with over five thousand tous of pig-iron and rails, sailed from Lvith, Scotland, for New York, recently, and thir- teen vessels are at present chartered to load iron for American ports. It is stated that 9,000 miles of new road are already under con- tracts, while the rails on several old roads need renewals.

Governor -General’s Speech.

—--—

The folowing dispatch was received last night, too late for insertion in yesterday’s is- sne of the EXaMiNER :—

Orrawa, Feb, 12. Special dispatch to Eraminer.

The second session of the present Parlia- ment was opened at three o'clock to-day, with the usual ceremony. His Excellency the Gov- ernor-General read the following

SPEECH : Hon. Gentlemen of the Senate : Gentlemen of the House of Commons :

I have great pleasure in meeting you again for the despatch of the business of the coun- try.

The abundant harvest with which Previ- dence has blessed Canada isa cause for the deepest thankfulness, and I heartily congratu- late you on the evidences which surround us of a recovery from the commergial and indi- vidual depression which has od Malad weighed down the energies of the people. Our return. ing prosperity should, I think, direct our at- tention to the less fortunate circumstances of our follow subjects in Iveland, where so much destitution prevails; and [ invite your con sidgration of the best means of showing eur practical sympathy with their distress.

\We have reason to congratulate ourselves on the number of settlers who have, during the past year, come into our North-West frem (treat Britain and the United States, as well as from the older Provinces of the Dominion, Every effort is being made to hasten the con- struction of the Canadian Pacific Raiway frem Lake Superior to Red River, and no doubt is entertained that the railway will be opened for traffic between these important points within the time specified in the contracts under the authority given by Parliament last session. Nearly one hundred miles from Red River to the western boundary of Manitoba has been placed under contract and tenders are about being asked for the censtruction of another hundred miles from the boundary westward. ‘The completion of three other sections will, atan early day, .afford railway facilities through two hundred miles of the most fertile landin the Nerth-West. After an exploration survey ef the line from Pert Simpson to the Peace River Country, in has been decided to adopt the location of the line to Burrard Inlet, and contracts have been awarded for 127 miles of the rail- way between Emery’s Bar and the Fraser River, and have one ferry. This work will be vigorously proceeded with so soon as the spring opens. Its construction will complete the most difficult section of the Canadian Pacific Railway, ard secure{the connection by stcatu “of the fertile district of Kamlooops with the capital of British Columbia.

The adoption of « rigid system of economy in the manageme.it of the Intercolonial rail- wry kas, without unparingithe efficiency of its working, inveived such a diminution of ex- peuse as to warrant the belief that the coun- try will in future he relieved from any burden in connection with its operation. Gentlemen of the House ef Commons :

Tie estimates .or the ensuing year will be

so that the necessity of going to a money order ottice every time money is to Se trans- mitted and between certain hours of the day will be avoided. It is a proposition for a small paper currency, and, like the postal savings bank, is sure to be practicable aud popular. ansiesepinlliibealileaiaii

Tus Emperor of Chinais just now in a serious difficulty. Young though he is, he has already to maintain some seventy women on his establisment in various capacities, anc, like every other gentleman who has ladies under his protection, the duty devolves upon him of clothing them. This would be a com- paratively easy task were the seventy fair ones of a reasonable turn of mind. But ua- happily for the peace of the brother of the Sun and Moon, their extravagance 1% pro nounced to be beyond all bounds. ‘we hundred and fifty thousand teals, which is more than one-half of the land tax of the empire, were expended last year in silk, satin, ganze, velvet, red and g?!t paper, and pearls, It is said that ene dress which is in possession of an Empress was covered last year with seed pearls, worked in so peculiar a fashien as to have cost a fabulous sum. With respect to this robe there is trouble ahead. The Empress is aged, though the dress is new. Ifshe die, according to custom, it must be barned, sup- posing it to be in her possession at the time of her demise. She refuses to part with it, and the idea of this watchfuluess, coupled with the prospect of increased extravagance in the coming year, troubles the owner of the vermillion pencil exceedingly.

County Line items.

Kighteen passengers have been driven from this place to Cape Traverse during the past eight days. They have all expressed themselves satisfied that this isthe mostconven- ient way of getting to the Capes, as the roads are exsellent. The journey can be easily made in an hour and a half. Senator Hay- thorne and others have been heard to say that by this means the mail bags could always be sent to and from the ice-boats to the station here in two hours at most, and thus save the long drive from Charlottetown.

Hon. James Yeo will mect his constitusnis at Somerset Hall on next Monday evening, at four o’cleck, to hear the views of the people; and diseuss the preposed branch of railway that will one day connect our railway with the Intercolonial.

A committee has been appointed ia this vicinity to collect money for the Irish Relief Fund. People are putting in their mite cheer-

laid betore you. They have been prepared with all due regrrd to economy,

You will be pleased to learn that the effect of the tariff of last Session in the development ef the various industries of the country, has, en the whole, been very satisfactory.

The experience acquired since it came into operation bas suggested the expediency of some amendments to which vour attention will he directed.

Kissing Ministers. The Rev. G. H. Hofermann, pastor of the Lutheran Church at Hoboken, has

‘cherished the belief, like Bro. Lane of

Kensico, that kissing women in a miscel- lancous Way came within the line of his Christian duty. Unfortunately for him, the church thinks otherwise, and he has been unceremoniously kicked out. His wi.e recently hired am attractive kitchen maid, who in lesa thar a week complained to her mother that she was afraid to live at the parsonage, as the clergyman was all the time hugging and kissing her. The mother told her daughter that the next time the parson comunitied the offence she must tell his wife about it. The girl had occasion to expose his conduct to Mrs. Hofermann the next day, and then the girl’s father took tas matter to the church frustees. They iavectigated Hofermann’s conduct on Monday evening. He admitted kissing the girl repeatedly, but claimed that he did it from ‘‘pure Christian motives. He was afraid, he said, that the girl would go asiray, and so he was endeavoring to

‘establish between them the love and rela-

ticn of father ond daughter, that he might the better guare her from danger. This uniqre defence did not go down with the trustees, who demanded and received his resignation on the spot £60 om “=

‘THE New York Heralds Irish relief fund has reached the sum of $139,000, and the stream of contribution is just beginning to pour in, One man has given $10,000, and, no doubt, many of the money-kings will follow his example.
