Trouble in Ottawa.

A few days ago about fifty laborers met in the City Hall, and asked the Mayor to give them work. They said they had been out of work for months, and would starve soon if not provided for. The Mayor told them there was no work for them at present but the Corporation would shortly com- mence the construction of a drain which would give them some employment. He advised them to be peaceable, and promised to do all he could to relieve them. They hung around for some time, looking in any- thing but a pleasant frame of mind. The chief of police has taken precaution to pre- vent trouble.

Decay of Seriousness.

A depressing sign of the times, in the Kvangelis?s (Presbyterian) opinion, is the decay of seriousness’: ‘‘ This frivolous tem- per is seen in the increasing demand for sensation of all kinds. The preacher is made to feel that pew-rents depend upon his personal popularity, and that to be po- pular he must please the people, or ‘ enter- tain them with an eccentric manner, or stories, or frothy declamation.’ The amuse- ments, even the lectures, which are most popular are often those which have least substance of thought, and make the smallest demands on the intelligence. People want to be amused-—to laugh, and not to think ; and the speaker who can excite most merri- ment and provoke most laughter is!best sus- tained. “This tendency of the age should be guarded against.

—— + ~~. <> + -—__. —__ — Economical Precautions.

Tux Montreal Gazette says: ‘‘ No large city, such as Montreal or Quebec, should ever be without a police force, capable from its numbers, character and equipments, of queiling whatever riot might take place. If any evidence were required of the absolute need of such provision, we have only to re- fer to the recent pitiful helplessness of the civic authorities of Quebec in the face of an unruly mob. And if, after such experience, the scenes lately witnessed there should ever, in any ef our cities, be repeated, the blame will certainly lie at the doors of those who, knowing both the risk and the reme- dy, shall have taken no measure to supply the latter. To talk of economy, in the face of such dangers, is simply to trifle over petty calculations when life and property are at stake, An unrestrained mob may, in a few hours, cause more destruction to property, not to speak of the shedding of human blood, than would maintain the force necessary for protection for a dozen of years. Let the actual need of such a force be first recognized, the question of economy can come after.”

Burning a Speaker in Effigy.

A popular demonstration took place at Three Rivers a few nights ago against the new Speaker of the Quebec Legislature, Mr. Turcotte, who, elected to oppose the Joly government, and after repeatedly pro- testing his desire and intention to oppose them, turned round on the first day of the session and became Mr. Joly’s candidate for Speaker, himself voting with the gov- ernment, and being elected by that vote. The fact had so great an appearance of moral turpitude among Mr. Turcotte’s own constituents that a crowd of 300 of them paraded the streets, with lighted lanterns, on which Turcotte was painted as a sort of Judas Iscariot ; on another lantern ‘‘$3,000” was painted, with a vacant Speaker’s chair ; and on another lantern was Mr. Turcotte seated on the throne, holding an unlighted candle in his hand, and calling, ‘‘Order, gentlemen’’--the reverse side having the words, ‘‘Our city is sold,” ‘Once forever.” So great was the popular indignation, the Montreal Star correspondent says, that Mr. Turcotte’s life would hardly have been safe had he ventured into the town that night. The crowd, which had swelled to 2,000, wound up the night’s doings by burning the efligy of Mr. Turcotte before the City Hall, dressed in red rags. The Star correspon- dent, who relates this, says it is certainly a fact that Mr. Turcotte need never again present himself before the electors of Three Rivers.

—__—~» 000 o___- Recuperating France.

Perhaps nothing astonishes the world more than that France, apparently calm and unmoved by the troubles which agitate and disturb the rest of Europe, devotes herself to the arts of peaceful industry and invites the world to a great Industrial Exhibition. Can this, many ask, be the fickle, the ex- citable, the glory-loving France our fathers knew or thought they knew? The London Spectator, answering such questions, says :—

‘* We can conceive of nothing less like frivolity, than the public conduct of France during that long period (six years.) Almost any other nation with a history which for a thousand years has been one of perennial excitement, with her sensitive pride and with her great remaining strength, would after such a defeat have displayed a spirit of touchy susceptibility, would have always been anxious to prove her existence, and would have interfered in every combin- ation. France once convinced to the ne-

cessity of recuperation, has betaken herself in the stillest calm to the revival of her strength. She has announced to all Euro

that for atime she is in retreat, and she kept her word. Her statesmen and people have acted together almost in silence to re- Enormous sums,

constitute her army.

amounting to an average of $25,000,000 a year, have been spent upon military pre- parations. The conscription has been thrown over the whole population, dis- cipline has been thoroughly re-established, and drill has been carried on till the life of a French soldier has become almost too burdensome to bear. The officers have been re-educated, all party differences have been suppressed to obtain generals, and the arsenals have been refilled, until the army of France is again in a position to guaran- tee not only her independence, but her rightful place in the affairs of the world. And nevertheless her rulers abstain abso- lutely from fuss and fidget, declare that France is not yet ready to abandon her policy of abstinence, and amidst all the tempting opportunities of this Eastern (Juestion remain as tranquil and, to out- ward appearance, as neutral as if France were an island in the South Pacific.” oaiaien gonial icteillahnitidy GENERAL NEWS.

A financial panic is reported in Guat - mala.

The value of the silk products of the United States last year is stated at 214 mil- lion dollars.

Elections took place in England recently, in Southampton and Rochester, a Conser- vative and Liberal being respectively elected.

The Quebec French papers all say that the man killed during the late riots was not one of the rioters, but a peaceable young man who boarded near the place where he was killed, and who was at the time on his way to the wharves.

A BERLIN correspondent says Bismarck looks much aged in consequence of wearing a white beard instead of a moustache, as formerly. Prince Gortschakoff leans heavily on his stick, and moves with great difficulty. He is greatly changed. His face is wan and emaciated.

Embezzlement is conducted on an impe- rial scale in Russia. Tuchaneoff, cashier of the St. Petersburg Credit Bank, has ab- sconded with two million roubles. The same bank a little while ago was unfortu- nate enough to pay out two hundred and fifty thousand roubles on forged checks.

A Larce Masorrry ror THE Oppostrion. —In the Legislative Council at Quebec, Hon. Mr. DeBoucherville’s amendment to the seventh clause of the address relating to the abolition of the Upper House was carried,with only two dissentient votes. An amendment by Hon. Mr. Beaudry, condemn- ing the Lieutenant-Governor’s action in dis- missing his Ministryand choosing a new one from the minority, was carried 16 to 4.

Earl Beaconsfield, according to the de- spatches to the New York Herald, excites more interest among the people of Berlin than any other man at the Congress. His personal qualities, past career and recent successes equaily command the interest of the public. The Kaiserhof Hotel, at which he resides, attracts hundreds of curious visitors daily. The public wait patiently about the Hotel to see the man who brought the Czar to his knees.

A CABLE despatch says that Prince Arthur is likely to be appointed successor to His Excellency Earl Dutferin. Having been christened Patrick and created Duke of Connaught, we suppose he must in some way be regarded as Irish. popular idea that Connaught is nine miles out of Ireland may account for the selection of the title. However, we will nail him, if he comes, as an illustrious countryman, more especially as_we are accustomed to be governed in Canada by Irishmen, who ap- pear to have the faculty, under British Do- minion, of making good rulers everywhere but at home.—Ottawa Herald.

The Kingston Daily News gives a very interesting account of the annual picnic of the Roman Catholic church at Railton, Township of Laborough, County of Ad- dington. Father McWilliams invited te be present Sir John McDonald, K. C. B., Mr. George a Kirkpatrick, M. P., Mr. Shibley, M. P., Mr. Deroche, M. P. P., Mr. Me Rory, Mr. Gunn, and other gentlemen on

tended for the Ministerial part. Father McWilliams introduced Sir John to the audience as ‘‘Canada’s greatest statesman,” and his reception was cordial in the ex- treme. Speeches wese delivered by Mr. McRory, Mr. Kirkpatrick, Sir John Me. Donald, Mr. Shibley, and Dr. Sullivan. The picnic was a great success financially, no less than 2,09) persons having been present.

The House of Representatives, at Wash- ington, on Friday last, passed the following resolution, which was moved by a Repub- lican, Mr. Burchard, of Illinois :—-

Whereas, At a joint meeting of the two house of the Forty-fourth Congress, con- vened pursuant to law, and for the purpose of ascertaining and counting the votes for President and Vice-President for the term commencing March 4th, 1877, upon count- ing the votes, Rutherford B. Hayes was de- clared President and William A. Wheeler was declared Vice-President for such term; therefore,

Resolved, That no subsequent Congress, or either House, has jurisdiction to revise the action of such joint meeting, and any at- tempt by either House to annul or disre- gard such action or a title to office arising therefrom would be revolutionary, and is disapproved by this House.

The motion was carried 216 to 21, the nays including such prominent Democrats as Cox and Hewitt, of New York, Springer and Blackburn.
