vreat outcry was raised by a portion of the Grit Pre duty on

s respecting the increase in the Mavazines and Periodicals. It was denounced as 4 tax on intelligence, and a blow at the reading habits of the people. The Minister of Finance claimed that it would benefit Canada by causing printing and bind would n

¢ ; a “ren!: -~ of magazines possessing a decent circwia

tion. Lis views have been fully borne out. Arrangements, have been perfected by

Canadiaa publishers to issue the better class of English magazines simultaneously with their English publication. This is done by importing stereotype plates from which the printing is done, giving employ- ment to Uanadian paper-makers, printers and book-binders. The Canadian copies are fully equal in appearance to the Eng- lish ones, snd are issued, in most instances, at a less cost than they could be obtained at under the old tariff. Thus the Leisure Hour, Sunday at Home, and Boy’s Own Paper — all ; first-class publications, — are now issued at $1.50 per annum, while they formerly cost, to import, from $1.75 to 2.00. The latter paper we would like to see placed by parents im every boy’s hand, as it woul tend to supplant the dime-novel class of lituravure so dangerous in its ten- GO Bo is The “Patriot” and the Commis- sioner of Public Works.

He is a most, disorderly has, since the beginning of his imprisonment, been a continual annoyance to the jailors. ie recently spent some months in irons for being engaged in a plot with other prisoners to force a way out of the jail and is confined alone in ene of the lowest cells, where he is continually plan- ning his escape. It was in performing the practical work of one of his plans that he set fire to the cell. This plan was to burn a hole in the wall of his cell, through which he could pass into a cell occupied by two'women named Lowther and Van. This cell is very insecure, and once in it, his escape to the yard and thence to the street would be easy. When the fire was ex- tinguished yesterday it was discovered that he had burned the boards off the wall in the rearof a cupboard, with a red-hot iron ; that he had further burned almost through @ sill which rested on the stone wall separ-

ating the cells, and that it was during the application of the blazing iron that the sill took fire. This sill burned for some time, and filled

the cell occupied by the women, as well as Cavanagh’s, full of smoke. The women screamed lustily, and Cavanagh kicked violently at his cell door. ‘The jailor, hear- ing the noise, rushed to the cell, and promptly extinguished the flame which was increasing alarmingly. In the evening High Sheriff Watson and Inspecting Com- missioner Fitagerald visited the Jail, and ordered that Cavanagh be chained in his cell, out of the reach of the fire.
