Orrawa, Feb. 1.

In the Commons to day, Mr. Cochrane, | of East Northumberland, was introduced | by Sir John Macdonald and Mr. Taylor

The ncddress mn reply tu the speech from the throne was moved by Mr. White, of Cardwell, who made an excellent sion.

impres He took strong grounds on the tish- ing question, and denounced the vacil ating, | resentful and illogical actions of the United States administration in a manner that must have grated harshly on the ears of would-be annexationists. Nobody but the inner circle seemed to | know whe would second the address, but | all doubt was dispelled when Mr. Lepine, | of Montreal East, and in an easy, graceful manner addressed the House in| French, with all the nonchalance of a poli- tical patriarch. Hon. Mr. Laurier followed in a courteous speech, which failed to shock the nerves of the most sensitive Conservative. Sir John Macdonald closed the day's de- | bate in his unique and happy style. The address was passed without division. | The House resumes on Monday

CARNIVAD Star.—We hear there is great excitement in Montreal over the Carnival number of the Montreal Star, one firm alone offering to buy and pay cash for one hundred thousand copies. The Carnival Star this year is said to be of surpassing grandeur. The public were prepared for something good, but did not dreain of such a galaxy of beauti- ful and thrilling things. The Star number is retailed at thirty-five cents. If people don't know how it can be produced for the money they must find out for themselves- We can't solve it.

Tennis Games.—Several parlor adapta- tions of lawn tenais are new games in Eng- land. One is called ‘‘tenisette."" The play- er, standing a short distance from a round target, pierced with five round holes, throws a bali on the carpet, endeavoring to make it rebound through the rings of the frame. An- other indoor game is ‘‘ lawn fives,” with a net behind a screen. The game is to get as many balls as possible through five holes in the screen with a lawn tennis racquet.

Sean Fisuerizs.—Complete returns of last season's seal fishery have reached the Fisheries Department. Owing to the uncertainty ex- isting at the beginning of last season as to seizures of sealing vessels by the United States guthorities while operating in Behring’s Sea, a large number of vessel owners decided not to riak seizure; the consequence is that the catch of 1988 is considerably under that of the pre- vious year. In 1887 the total catch was 33,- 800 skins, valued at $236,600, while last ) ear the catch was 24,790 skins, valued at $175, oJ30.

The New Frie Presse hasan account of the death of the Crown Prince, which it says it received from an eye-witness. The valet found his bedroom door locked, and, unable to obtain a response, he summoned Count Hoyooe and two other gentlemen, who burst in the door. Rudolph lay in his shirt on the bed, his head near the ground and his left arm lifeless by his side. There was a wound in the middle of his forehead, and blood was streaming from his mouth. His right hand was holding a revolver The Emperor did not learn uutil late Wednesday night that Rudolph committed suicide.
