The Good and Wise in Parliament

The Montreal Gazette says :—

‘* Any one who visits the Parliament at Ottawa, or, in fact, any of our provincial legislatures, will, if we are not mistaken, catch a glimpse of a fair proportion of our good aud wise, if not of our wisest and best men. Some of them are on one side of the house; s»me on the other. It would be in- vidious to say which side contains the largest proportion of the moral and intellectual elite of the nation or the province. Some have dropped out in the struggle, but they have not sunk out of sight forever. Some of those temporarily eclipsed stars represent large local minorities at this moment, and avery slight change in public opinion or in cirewmstance may send them to Parliament at next eleo- tion. The party which has the majority all over is in power, and will do its best to keep itself there. If it were to be defeated, the other party would take its place and the position of parties would be reversed. Those who find fault with the system ought to sug- gest a substitute for it. The ideal parliament, where every member keeps his own council and votes as he pleases,is virtually impossible. In France we find the nearest approach to it, and we have lately seen how it works. Is it good for a country to have twenty-four changes of a government in some seventeen years?

surrender of principle. The great danger in England is lest the House of Commons should

English Sparrows

A paper was read in gthe fourth section of the Royal Society on the English spar- row and the extraordinary rate at which it is multiplying on this continent. The in- fluence of its presence on other birds, es- pecially on some of the native sparrows,and its good or ill effects on agriculture were ‘dealt with. Some farmers maintain that ‘it is injurious ; others, that it does more ‘good thanharm. The English sparrow has recently invaded Muskoka and Nipissing | districts, and is steadily advancing west- ward. Mr. Ernest E, Thompson, orono- | thologist, the author of the paper, brought ,out the fact that the bird is essentially a |grain feeder, though the young destroy ‘many grasshoppers. He maintains, on the |other hand, that our native birds are, as a class, beneficial to agriculture,and that they should, therefore, be protected from the in- vader. In the course of his investigation, :Mr. Thomson examined tne gizzards of 100 | English sparrows shot in the vicinity of

.Toronto, and his conclusions were on the results obtained by dissecting them.

Lincoln on the Declaration of In- dependence.

| In the instalmentofthe ‘‘Lincoln History,” ' published in the June Century, an account is ! given of the famous Dred Scott decision, with ‘quotations from Lincoln’s and Douglas’ opin- ,ions on that decision. Lincoln incidentally ‘referred to the Declaration of Independence | in the following striking language: ‘*I think 'the authors of that notable instrument in- tended to inelude all men; but they did not intend to declare all men equal in all respects. They did pot mean to say all weré equal in color, size, intellect, moral development, or social capacity. They defined with tolerable distinctness in what respects they did consi- der all men created equal—equal with ‘cer- tain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ This they said, andthis they meant. They did not mean to assert the obvious untruth that all were then actually enjoying that equality, nor yet that they were about to confer it im- mediately upon them. In fact, they had no power to confer such aboon, They meant simply to declare the right, so that the en- forcement of it might follow as fast as circum- They meant to set up

! i

for,

constantly approximated, and thereby con- stantly spreading and deepening its influence

life to all people of all colors everywhere. The assertion that ‘all men are created equal’ was of no practical use in effecting our separ- ation from Great Britain ; and it was placed in the Declaration, not for that, but for future use. Its authors meantit to beas, thank God, it is now proving itself, a stumbling- block to all those whoin after times might seek to turn a free people back into the hate- ful paths of despotism. They knew the

they meant when such should reappear in this fair land and commence their vocation, they should find left for them at least one hard nut to crack.”’ ie ne An English Church Minister in Gaol.

We have now got another minister in gal for not conforming to theritual which the Ecclesiastical Courts enforee. Mr. Bell Cox, vicar of St. Margaret’s,Prince’s Road, Liverpool, was on Thursday imprisoned in Walton Gaol for his contumacy in disre- garding the order of Lord Penzance, as contirmed by the Court of Appeal.

A Romance of Keal Life. The recent death of an engine driver on the Intercolonial railway known as Jos. McLellan, has led to the discovery of a ro- mance connected with his life. He ar- rived in Halifax from Edinburgh thirty-tive years ago. His real name was Jos, Me- Gid. He deserted his wife and seven chil- dren and on his arrival in Halifax assumed the name of Jos. H. McLellan. Shortly afterwards he obtained a position on the |. C, R. as driver and was engaged on the road for the third of a century. His de- serted wife and family never heard any trace of him. Twenty-five years he married a Halifax girl named Sarah Tobin, by whom he had four children who survive. Last year the aged bigamist, apparently struck by remorse in his uld age, revisited Edinburgh and sought out his first wife and children. They were all dead, except two,a daughter now Mrs. Jane Fraser and her sis- ter Sarah. To those he told the story of his shame and crime, and promised to make provision for them out of the property he had accumulated. He returned again to Halifax, but never revealed his romance to his second wife and family. A few months

ago, while oiling hisfengine, he feil off the Yet that is the natural result of the|8teP Of the locomotive and struck the sharp

General Lee in the Wilderness Campaign.

From an illustrated description from the Wilderness to Cold Harbor, in the June Cen- tury, we quote as follows: “General Lee held so completely the admiration and confidence of his men that his conduct of a campaign was rarely criticised. Few points present themselves in his campaign from the Wilder- ness to Cold Harbor upon which criticism can lay hold, when all the circumstances are con- sidered. Hisplan of striking the flank of Grant's army as it passed through the Wilder- ness is above criticism. Fault can be found only with its execution. The two divisions of Longstreet at Gordonsville, and Anderson's division of Hill's corps left on the Upper Rapidan, were too widely separated from the rest of the army, and, as the event proved, should have been in supporting distance of A. P. Hill on the Orange Plank road on the afternoun of the 5th of May. Thst he did not strike Grant a damaging blow when he

had him ot euch dlimdsaptage on the North Anna may seem strange to those who had wit-

nessed his bold aggressiveness at the Wilder- ness and on other fields. He was ill and con- fined to his tent at the time; but, as showing his purpose had he been able to keep the sad- dle, he was heard to say, as he lay prostrated by sickness, ‘We must strike them a blow; we must never let them pass us again.’ What- ever General Lee did, his men thongbt it the best that could be done under the circumstan- ces. Their feeling towards him is well illus- trated by the remark of a ‘ragged rebel’ who took otf his hat to the general as he was pass- ing and received a like courteous salute in re- turn: ‘God bless Marse Robert! I wish he was emperor of this country and I was his earriage-driver,’ ”

The Governor-General's Letter.

The Governor-General has sent a letter to Mayor Stewart, thanking the citizens of Ottawa for their demonstration on Thurs- day. He says ‘‘the numbers present not only in the square but throughout ourroute, the cordiality of the greetings we received, the extent of the decorations, from the triumphal arches which spanned the streets down to the smallest flags waved from the windows of the humblest houses,the mount- ed escort composed of gentlemen represen- tatives of all that is best in your city, the voices of two thousand school children, and above al], the admirable order and good temper shown by the vast concourse 0? people, all combined to render the scene a truly remarkable and wonderful one. I trust that a good description will find its way to the English newspapers. For your own personal courtesy and kindness we can- not be suflictently grateful.”

Boston Markets.

Boston, June 1.

Porarors—There is no special change to note. Receipts from P. E. Island by steamer sold principally at 75 and 80 cents per bushel.

Ecos— There is no material change to note in the market for Eggs. Demand continues abeut equal to the supply, with sales of P. E. Island firsts at 124 cents.

Fisu—With more liberal receipts of new Mackerel there has been more activity, but the market generally remains quiet. Sales of new Mackerel in fare lots at $6.25 and $8.50

r bbl, sea packed as to quality. One trip of arge sold in Gloucester at $38.50 with bbl. The schools are working east, but so far few have made theig appearance on the New Eng- land coast. Old Mackerel are dull and prices nominal. Nova Scotia No | are held at $14 and $14.50 per bbl. Very few No 2 or No3 offering.

Lord Dufferin'’s Narrow Escape.

Lord Dufferin and his suite had a narrow escape recently at Dehra Doon, in India. It appears that a swarm of irate bees ran amuck among the escorts and attendants, and routed them horse and foot. Horses bolted, vehicles were smashed, ladies and children shrieked, and one poor charger belonging to an officer of the Ghoerkas was so badly stung that he lay down, and a “‘smudge” fire had iv be lighted round it before the bees were driven off. The vice- roy and suite had just passed into the chureh, in order to attend service, before the insects made their attack.
