Editorial Notes.
—According to Mr. Lowe, Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, the total arrivals of Canadian immigrants last year were 105,096; of these 25,927 were for the Western States, the re- mainder, 79,169, stayed in Canada.
—The trade of Great Britain still declines. The Board of Trade returns show a decrease in total exports for January and February of £1,362,955 as compared with the same months of last year; also a decrease in imports for the same period of £9,272,739.
—In his speech during the Riel debate Hon. Mr. Chapleau read a letter from Dr, Perrault of the Longue Point Asy- lum, stating that during his incarceration there, Riel himself had confessed that he was shamming. This confession coin- cides with the opinion of the doctor.
—Commenting on the despatch of armed vessels to protect the Canadian Fisheries, the Cape Ann Advertiser says: “It isthe plain duty of the American government to see that our fishermen are protected in their rights, by sending gua- boats to protect them in neutral waters, and by instructing its Consular agents to see that they are sot illegally harrass- ed or unjustly condemned.”
-—The Rev. D. G. McDonald describes a recent trip in the Northern Light, and says he has seen reason for confessing that the unfavorable opinion he had en- tertained from the fact that the vessel was laid up in Souris “was founded on ignorance of the facts.” It is more than probable that the unfavorable opinions of other persons were foundel ou the same baseless fabric. Mr. McDonald has, however, seen cause for coming to the conclusion that * the day that Capt. Finlayson will not attempt to cross, pas- sengers and maiis are much more likely to be heard from subsequently, if they remain ashore.”
—QOn the Landry motion the ‘bolters’ were Messrs, Ouimet, Massue, Girouard, Gilbault, Labrosse, Gaudet, Daoust, De- saaloiers ( Maskioonge), Desjardins,Cour- sol, Laodry (Montmagny), Bergeron, Amyot, Gigault, Dupont, Bain (Soulan- ges), Macmillan (Vaudreuil). The Retormers who voted against the motion were Sir Richard Cartwright, Messrs. Mackenzie, Charlton, Ray, Scriver, Paterson (of Brant), Davies, Gilmour, King, Burpee, Sutherland, Bain (Went- worth), Guan, Fisher, Irvine, Somerville (Brant), ‘Jackson, McCraney, Springer, Innes, Platt, Livingston, Watson (Mani- toba). The only pair was Mr. Peter Mitchell with Sir John Macdonald. The vote was shirked by Messrs. Cockburn, Fairbank, Fleming, McMullen.
--Tue Patriot implies that the Govern- ment of Canada has sustained a heavy deteat by the election of a Liberal in Drammond and Athabasca. The Patriot counts too much upon the jgnorauce of its readers. The contested seat is in the Local House of Assembly; not in the House of Commons, and has been filled (since 1874) not by a Conservative, but by a Liberal. As to the main cause of the Conservative’s defeat, in the recent contest, the Montreal Gazette remarks: —
“The choice of the Conservatives fell upon Mr. Prefontaine, who entered on the contest with fair hopes of success, But he fell into a grave biun- der, and was led to adopt, as part of his platform, the Riel resolutions passed at the Champ de Mars meeting. This sealed his fate. The vote of the English speaking electorate was antagonized, and he did not receive that of the French in sufficient strength to make up for the loss thus caused. Probably his opponents anticipated that this would be the case when they induced him to take the step. At any rate hehas been beaten, and theirs is the victory. His position to-day is an il- lustration of the old adage that between two stools we come tothe ground. It will afford a fore- taste of their probable fate to other Conserva- tives who have allowed themselves to be used by the Rouge agitators. They, too, when the time comes, will have reason to repent their course. They will learn too late that what they have helped to sow others will reap, that they have been laying atrain to be used to their own des- truetion. They will see that the apparent friends of to-day are really their enemies, Who have taken advantage of a passing wave of feeling to attain a hold on the coantry they could not of themselves have won, but which, having gained, they will seek touse to their own advantage, and to their own ad vantage only.”
—Wze are in receipt of the following let- ter. Though written under an imposing advertisement of the * American Cloth- ing Store.” it bears on its face strong, if bot conclusive, evidence that it is a for- gery. The body of the production is not, certainly, in the hand of Mr. Mac- Kenzie—nor in that of avy of his large staff of private secretaries, with whose chirography we are familiar. But an “expert,” whose services were engaged for the purpose, declares that the hiero- glyphics in the signature’ are not unlike those of Mr. MacKenzie. If it were not for this decision, the letter would certainly have been tossed into the waste basket as of uo importance. It will be remarked that the * recanta- tion letter” abounded with reasons and was couched in good idiomatic English, whereas this “letter of repudiation ” contains no reasons whatever, and the languags of it is far from classical. We can well imagive that the Grit Party was shaken from centre to cir- camfererce when they heard about Mr. MacKenzle’s defection; and it need
hardly be said that a “ Party” which would steal letters for the purpose of in- a their opponents, would not scruple nee Mr. MacKenzie’s signature to en designed'to break a heavy fall for coed ves. Moreover, the signature at-
; _ to the former was certainly that of

Divorce, Secret Societies, etc.
The decrees enacted by the Plenary Council held in Baltimore in November, 1884, which were sent to Rome for ap- proval and returned several months ago, have been given to a few persons in printed form. They extent over four hundred pages and are in Latin. Special attention is paid to the music adopted in the ehurches. Worldly, irreligious and sensual strains are positively to be excluded from church exercises. Oue of the most impor- tant decrees is that concerning matrimony. Since marriage was raised in the new law to the dignity of a sacrament, it belongs soleiy to the church to whom the administration of the sacrament was entrusted to pass judgment on the validity, rights and obli- gstions of marriage. This being the case and the marriage tie being indissoluble, it is obvions that there is no power on earth which can dissolve Christian marriage. Against such as infringe the law severe penalties are to be enforced. No legal divorce has the slightest power before God to loose the bond of marriage and make a subsequent one valid. Even adultery, though it may justify ‘‘ separation from bed and board,” cannot loosen the marriage tie so that either of the parties may marry again
during the life of the other, ner is the}
legal separation to be obtained without first conferring with the _ ecclesiastical authorities. Though the church some- times permits the marriage of a Catholic with a non-Catholic, she without the deepest regret and with the explicit understanding that the children of those parties must be brought up ia the Catholic Caurch. All secret societies, which are secret as the Church under- stands this term, such as masonic lodges and other confraternities, are not to be joined by Catholics. But not only are such secret societies to ba shunned, but all are requested to co-operate as earnestly as possible in the noble work of those societies which are acting in all things accor ding to the spirit of the church. ompoomenini nadia tha in The Two Comets.
Prof. Lewis Swift, in a letter to the Rochester Democrat, dated 17th inst., says, Barnard’s comet on the day of its greatest brightness, May 24, will be about twenty deg. north (towards the north star) from the Pleiades or seven stars. It ia now about 4degrees north of Alpha Aritis. It is visible through small telescopes, Fabry’s is now in a vacant part of the sky some 12 deg. northwest of Alpha Andromeda. low down in the Northwest. On April 30 it will be some 4 deg from east of the place where Barnard’s will be when brightest a month later. I[t will be a unique if not an altogether unheard of spectacle of two bright comets in the same quarter of the heavens being almost simultaneously visible. Fabry’s, or the Paris comet, as it is often called, will probably become vis- ible to the naked eye in Jess than two weeks from now, and, fortunately, moon- light will not interfere with its visibility, neither willit but very little on April 30, when brightest. It may be advisable to note that the two comets, both being visible to the naked eye, will, on April 22, be within 9 deg. of each other. It may also be interesting to state that on Fab. 22 Fabry’s and Brooks’ comeis were but 2 deg. 44m. apart, and with a telescope of low power both were in one field. On April 25 Fabry’s comet will cross a point which Barnard’s comet will pass on March 22, and on May 20 Barnard’s will be where Fabry’s had passed 23 days previously. It is Fabry’s not Barnard’s comet that is sup- posed to be identical with Miss Caroline Herschel’s comet of 1785.”
i <> >< Wholesale Poisoning.
The report published in THe Examiner @ few days ago, to the effect that some fif- teen persons had been poisoned ina Mon- treai restaurant, is confirmed. It appears that on St. Patrick’s Day large numbers of people took lunch in the restaurant, and being a fast day many took fish balls. Shortly afterwards fifteen persons who had not yet left the place became seriously ill with vomiting, pains in the stomach, and every symptom of poisoning. Medical at- tendance was procured, and the patients had soon sufliciently recovered to be sent home. The doctors stated positively that the persons had been poisoned, and com- plaints were received from a number of people who had eaten the fish balls. Sam- ples of the suspected edible were sent to Dr. Baker Edwards, Government analyst, and the Laboratory of McGill University, for analysis. Dr. Edwards reported the result of his analysis to be that he could find no trace: of poison in the samples sent him. The McGill College experts have not yet reported. The analysis lends more mystery to the occurrence, and a strict enquiry is being instituted to ascertain the cause of the sudden illness of the consu- mers. The most serious cases of apparent poisoning were amongst some of the em- ployes.

Large Dividends.
The large dividends paid by British joint stock banks are remarkable, considering the depression of trade existing. The lar- gest dividend paid for 1885 was 334 per cent., which was paid bythe Whitehaven Joint Stock Bank, a majority of the shares of which are owned by the Duke of West- minster ; next comes the'Bank of Sydney, N.S. W., with 25 per cent., the Lanca- shire County Bank with a similar sum, the Bank of Belfast which paid 20 per cent., the Bank of Australasia with 16 per cent., the Royal and Commercial Banks of Scot- land which pay 14 per cent. each, and the Bank of Ireland and Clydesdale Bank which have paid 12 per cent. each to their shareholders.

Orrawa, March 29.
In answer to a question Hon. Mr. Caron said that no report had been received by | the Government from the second officer in command at Batocke. Such report would be an unheard of proceedings.
In answer to a question, Hon. Mr. White said it was not the intentiun of the Government to reduce the price of Pre- emption in Manitoba to one dollar per acre.
The House then passed to ‘‘notices of motion,” when Mr. Weldon moved for « copy of papers used before the Supreme Court of New Brunswick in matter of Robert Stather, a prisoner who was re- moved from the penitentiary at Dorchester to that at Kingston, Ont. He complained that the removal was an infringement of the liberty of the subject. Hon. Mr, Thompson said there would be no objection to bring- ing down the papers; in fact, as soon as the motion appeared in the notice paper, he had caused application to be made for copies of the jadgment of the Supreme Court of New Branswick, which formed a very important part of the case.
Mr, Edgar moved for a committee to examine into the working of the copy right law in Canada; but after a little debate, withdrew his motion on Sir Hector’s stating that the Government were in correspondence with the imperial authorities on the subject.
On the motion of Hon, Peter Mitchell | for a return respecting steamers or sail- ing vessels forming the present marine force of Canada, Hon. Mr. Foster said it was considered that steamers were better than sailing vessels.

The Montreal Star's Ottawa correspond- ;ent says :—‘‘ It is said that there was a |row in the Grit camp not long before the vote, whichfaccounted fer the big majority. | It seerns that fourteen or eighteen of the } Party had almost agreed not to vote, and | Mr, Davies was to explain their reasons to i the House, but when Mr. Davies indiéated the lines on which he would speak, some of the coterie dissented, and the result was a split, and the eventual action of all excep three was to vote with the Government.
BRITISH NEWS.
Lonpon, March 29.
Gladstone, in the House this afternoon, stated that on April 8th he would ask per- mission to introduce his Irish government bill. He added that on April 12th the Budget would be introduced, and on April 15th he would request permission to intro- duce a bill to amend the laws for the’ sale and purchase of land in Ireland.
in Birmingham rumors are circulated to- day that if the present political crisis results in a new election, Lord Raddolph Churchill and Chamberlain will take the stump for the same platform, It is also stated that in the same event the Birmingham Liberals in John Bright’s district will request that venerable statesman to retire in favor of a younger man.
Labor Treubles.
CHARLEROI, March 29.
The Government has authorized the peaceable inhabitants to arm themselves, and to use every means in their power to defend their domiciles. There is a more confident§feeling. The miners in Fleum and Bounage districts have gone on a_ strike, and have destroyed the residence of the mine manager by dynamite. Several con- flicts between strikers and troops have occurred, and many have been killed on both sides.
Sr. Lovis, Mo., March 29.
Notwithstanding the address which has been made us coming from the Local As- semblies of the Knights of Labor, the men are in ignorance of the existence of the order, and have therefore not yet returned to work. The afternoon despatches say that the strike on the Missouri Pacific Railway is practically under control.

4 Duel Between Women.
A remarkable duel was recently fought in England, the contestants being Mme. Valsayre, a native of France, aud Miss Shelby, an American. The duel was the result of a dispute on the relative mosits of French and American female dcctors. After a stormy altercation between the dis- putants Mme. Valsayre threw her glove in Miss Sheiby’s fece and a duel was arranged. The weapons were swords. Mies Shelby was slightly wounded on one arm. The four secouds were Americans. The latter expressed themselves as satisfied that the doel had been conducted fairly and that France’s honor had been avenged.
