Tus Moncton Vises remarks that ‘* The sentence of ‘twelve months in the common jail,’ accorded to Thomas Cairns Price, the Summecside bigaufist, in the Quebec Court ef Queen's Bench last week, wouid seom to be «a remarkably light one. Mr. Justice Cross’s remarks in proneuncing the sen- tence are given in r column, appear- ing in the Quebee (Aronicle wf Saturday. His Honor shows no good reason why the ssptence should lave light and Justice so sparingly meted ont in his court. A great many have been under the impression that bigamy was a very sevious crime,and there do not appear to have beon any extenuating circumstances in the case of Price such an extremely light sentence. What- ever may have been the popular feeling i favor of leniency as exercised towards Price, on account of the family connec- tions of his victim, the Judge should net have condoned the offence to such an ex- tent as to make it appear several times less serious than larceny cases, in whieh he de- livered judgment at the sametime. The sentences of different Canadian Courts for the same class of crime differ immensely in severity. Would it not bo well for our Judges to agree upon some general prin- ciples where the matter is left to their dis-

cretion |”

Here is a pretty little story about Prince Leopold, new en voyage to Canada, and his of the House of

cousin Hanover, lately

married at Windsor Castle to a Hanoverian

nobleman :—

‘For his sake (the Baron) she refused more than one advantageous match. She would have him, she said, or remain single. It is said—and the story is yood enough to be true—that when Prince Leopold began te show something more te her than a mere friendly attachment she determined to ap- peal to him as the favorite son of the Queen. She told him her story and asked his aid. Likea ‘rue knight, he devoted himself to her cause. He urged his mother until se caught her son’s enthusiasm ; he arranged matters, which, without him, would have been difficult ; he turned her critics into her partisans ; and so it comes

about that the sister of a crownless King is |

able with even something like pomp to marry for love.” ——— — 000 a - -— -

London Spectator : ‘‘ 1t is the health, not the eye-siglit, which parents with siudious children should protect, though they should be mest merciless in insisting on a suili- ciency of light.which actually reaches the object of attention. You may sit in a reom full of light, but have all the while only twilight or even a deep shadew falling upon the workin hand. Light, full light, but light without glare, is the grand pre- servative of the eyes.”

The emigration from Europe to this con- tiaent this year is likely to be enormous. Swarms of people, many of them of the middle class, are already leaving England, Ireland. Germany and Scandinavia. The Dominion authorities, and, in fact, Cana- diatis of all classes, should exert themselves to the utmost to direct as large a number as possible to their own country.
