This much we think, however, that like} namesake, Oliver Cromwell. one will}is a rather good one, though the force only result in much greater injury to thelof it is to some extent broken by the ‘ridiculous position in, which Sir John and

—Poor Webb! In his death he was not wise. But he has proved beyond a doubt that no living thipg can , pass through the Niagara whirlpool. After a careful post mortem examination of the body the doctors say that death was pro- duced ‘by the reactiovary force of the water coming into contact with the body with such force and pressure,as to pro- duce paralysis of the nerve cevtres; a pressure so great as to render respiration a oe In his written report Dr. C. N. Palmer says :~

. a result of our @xamination I'am led to the conelusion, and io this Lani se- conded by my colleagues, that death’ was caused not by as hyxia or drowning or by any local injary by the body coming in con- tact with any hard substance, but by the shock from the reactionary force of the water in the Whirlpool rapids coming in contact with the submerged body with such force as to instantly destroy the respiratory power, and, in fact, all vital action, by direct pressure and force of contact—a shock of sufficient intensity to alyze the

nerve centres, partially dasicdite the mus- cular tissues, and foresta!l any probable

sequel of death by drowning. The cause of death in passing through these rapids being thus constant, and in no wey accidental, as mig\t

be drowning or an injury received from rocks, forces the conclusion that no living

y can, or ever will, pass throtigh the rapids alive, a fact established of no little importance, and an ominous warning to al! future adventurers. The river bed at the whirlpool rapids is mtich narrowed, and also suddenly assumes greatly increased préecipitancy. The water strikes the un- yielding rocky banks with great violence, aad by reaction meets with such resistance as to form in the centre a mountainous ridge of encroaching waters from twenty to — feet in height. Into this Captain Webb was submerged after passing the first breaker, and instantly subjected to the immense pressure indicated upon his body as the cause of death.”

—-The horror of the week occurred a} Ischia, an Island of the Mediterraneaa, about seventeen miles west of Naples. Between 4,000 and 5,000 persons were killed. Ischia is a beautiful Island, about nineteen miles in cireumference, abound- ing in, corn, aod wine, olives, sweet- swelling shrubs aud sulphur spriogs. Its population is consequently large, not- withstanding its volcanic origin and great earthquakes, and it was the resort of numbers of wealthy invalids. At the, time of the disaster the play was going on at the theatre in Casamicciola,—the favorite watering place of the Island. The curtain, we are told, had just risen when a tremend- ous shock was felt. A fearfal roar fol- lowed. The ground rocked. like the, sea in a storm. A great cry of terror arose from the audience, who were thrown into a heap, acd a large number of them were buried beneath the timbers of the build- ing, which fell upon them. | Two more shoeks occurred. All who conld rushed outside of the theatre, and hun- dreds of persons clambered into the tree

in the vicinity for safety. Most of the:

people, however, escaped to the shore, where bonfires were lighted as signals of distress. Hundreds of half naked men and women, wild with terror and grief, ran to and fro among the rains witli torches during the night, searching for

missing friends. Ischia was - first peopled by the Greeks, who were driven out by earthquakes.

Then it was held by the Romans; sub- sequently by the Goths and Vandals who overran Italy ; and, between the wars in which it suffered, and the earthquakes by which it has been shaken, has had

trouble enough to compensate all the advantages it enjoys,

such cause or motive @8:uctuated the great Oliver, the act of the little Oliver in taking possession of the “disputed territory” between Ontario and Manitoba is withqut the warrant of law er justice and iu defiauce of the. legally coustituted authorities or powers. of this. coustry. What are the facts? The northwestern boundary of Ontario is undetermined.

To fix the limits of thé Province in that direction a Commission was duly ap- pointed ; and it was clearly provided that the award of the Commission should .be subject to the approval of the Legislature of Ontario and the Pafliament of Canada. Au award was made which was aceepted by the former and rejected by the latter.

The award is consequently null'and void.

In this dilemma the Goyernment of Can- ada then proposed that the matter in dis- pute be referred to the Supreme Court of Canada, to the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords, or to some independent Jurist of celebrity. But the Government of Ontario refused ‘to “accept this pro- posal. Jn duty bound to preserve law and order, the Dominion Parliament then placed a portion of the disputed territory, including Rat Portage, within the juris- diction of Manitoba—on the’ distinct. understanding that in doiug so the legal claims of Outatio “should ‘not’ bé prejudiced, and that the jurisdiction should revert to its Government, ,if the dispute were finally settled in its, favor. Accordingly the Government of Mani- toba established such institutions (includ- ing a jail) and appointed sach officials as: seemed to be uecessary. Bat, io op-

One’ of the chief conditions of stability id a Fedéra- tiom is that there be not a very marked inequallity of strength among the respec- tive Provinces. Apart from the “dis- puted territory,” Ontario, is | now , uns doubtedly the most powerful Province in the Confederacy: give her the’ disputed territory and she ‘is very’ likely to exert undue influence id the joint deliberations and acts, of the General Parliament and Govyeroment, If, this; disputed tepritory belong to her, let her have it, But the
