GRIT CORRUPTION,

MERCENARY

MEMBERS — BUYING \ SPEAKERSHIP.

Tats is the way the St. John “‘ News” comments upon the Nova Scotia Speaker- ship Seandal :—

Mr. Speaker Mack, of the Nova Scotia Assembly, was induced by Woodworth—the irrepressible Woodworth—to state, a few days ago, to a public audience at Caledonia Corner, Queen’s County, Nova Scotia, how he got the Speakership. The story, as told by him, was taken down, and a copy of it, attested by the chairman and secretary of the meeting and several other respectable persons present, has been published. The story was told with an unaffected and de- lightful simplicity. It runs thus :

: ; ; **T found that the only other candidate was Dr. Campbell; and I thought that I was as fit for the office as he was. Mr, Eisenhaur told me that I ought to give Dr. Campbell, some of the salary if I got it. LIagreed to. Dr. Campbell after- wards came tome and said that he would nominate me as Speaker. And after I be- came Speaker, he (Dr. Campbell) wrote me a letter asking me for the money. I gave him $300 out of the salary, as agreed upon. I gave Mr. Freeman something ; no matter how ranch,”

Mr. Freeman, we believe, is Mr. Mack’s colleague in the representation of Queen’s County. The story, at first sight, seems to be bogus, but on cioser inspection appears true, or, at least, to have been told as re- lated by Mr. Mack. “The Dr. Campbell spoken of represents Inverness in the Nova Scotia Assembly. It does not seem likely that Messrs. Mack, Campbell and Freeman will ever again have it in their power to di- vide the spoils of an Assembly’s Speaker- ship.”

Population of the World.

According to recent careful computations, the population of the world is 1,425,917 ,000, or 28 persons for every square mile. The following table shows the populations of the great divisions of the earth :—

The combined populations of 1876 exceed those of 1875 about 27,000,000. The in- habitants of different States of Europe are divided as follows :— oe es foo eae k city eT Las 42,723,000 UNEEO-FIMDUEEY o's ene ee tet 37,700,000 UE os ce ha ete Ss beres 2,609,147

The population of Turkey in Europe, Asiaand Africa, reaches 47,600,000 souls, of whom 20,500,000 are divided between Egypt, Tripoli and Tunis, Asia having 13,- 000. The population of the Russian Em- pire is estimated at 85,586,000, or 900,000 over 1875. The population of the British Indies numbers 289,000,000, that of China 495,000,000, and that of Japan 33,290,015. London has 3,489,428 souls, Paris 1,851,- 792, New York and Brooklyn 1,535,622, and Berlin 1,045,000.—EKz.

THE QUEBEC ELECTION.

Statements and Opinions.

The following despatch from Ottawa ap- pears in the Rouge journals :—“ It is now more than probable that the Federal Par- liament will be adjourned almost immedi- ately, and that the dissolution of the House will follow very shortly. The Ottawa Gov- ernment will seek to take advantage of the gains to the Liberal party in the recent Pro- vincial elections, and thus secure for them- selves a new lease of power.”

Messrs. Turcotte, Caron and Magnan, classed by the Rouge and Reform papers as supporters of Mr. Joly, have been conmu- nicated with since their election, and all three declare themselves unqualifiedly hos- tile to the Administration. The Conserva- tives have a majority of two, which pro- bably will be increased to three by the re- erase the election in Chicoutimi to-day — sve Mtul.

Quebec party papers are still disputing about the result of the Provincial elections. Both parties claim the victory. What seems certain is that a majority or, at least, about one-half the new Assembly is composed of professed Conservatives, elected as such, and who in their canvass openly condemned the dismissal of the DeBoucherville Cabinet ; and what seems probable is that a smal} ma- jority of the House will be found ready to give the Joly Administration a reasonably fair trial. So far as we can make out, this double view of the case contains something like the whole truth about the situation. But it must be admitted that matters are much mixed in the great St. Lawrence River Province.—St. John News.

ee QED @ CR-- -——— er eee.

THERE is a weekly paper in St. John called the Penny Dip, “devoted principally to the publication of scandals,” the St. Jehn Globe says. On Saturday, Mr. Jehn Bowes, one of the peseners of the Dip, was whipped on King Street by Mr. H. H. Bowie. The Globe of Saturday. gives the following account of the affair: “‘Its (the d)ip’s) sensation to-day was an account of the marriage of a contractor, hailing from Montreal, to a St. John lady living in the vicinity of the Cathedral, and it gave a ‘‘report” that this contractor had already a wife and children in Montreal. Mr. H. H. Bowie, felt that he was the contractor

'|referred to, and early in.the day he deter-

mined to have satisfaction. He purchased an ordinary whip, and about 2 o'clock took his stand on King Street, waiting for the appearance of Mr. Bowes. Many persons who knew his object, and quite a number waited about expecting to see a fight. About 2.30 o'clock Bowie met Bowes on the north side of King street, and at once ‘“‘went for” him in vigorous style. Bowes grasped the whip, and then Bowie commenced to use his fists. He is credited with being quite a fighter—a quick and hard hitter. @ beat Bowes about the face until the eye wit- nesses drew him away, when he went off in one direction and Bowes walked away by another route. An immense crowd gathered on the street, attracted by by the disturb- ance. Very little sympathy is felt for Bowes,” Sy ipl dig ae

It seems from an incident reported in an English scientific journal that at last an antidote for strychnine poisoning has been found. A skye terrier picked up a bit of bread on which a vermin poison, composed mostly of strychnine, had been put. The usual symptons rapidly developed them- selves, the dog became rigid, and only an occasional tetanic spasm showed that life was not extinct. The owner then remem- bered having read in’the proceedings of the British Medical Association that hydrate of chiora! was an antidote against strychnine, if taken soon enough. He at once injected forty-five grains of chloral hydrate under the dog’s skin. A quarter of an hour after- wards, when the dog was lying apparently dead, the owner moved it with his foot, when the dog at once struggled to its feet and went to its usual place near the fire. Soon after it took some milk, and, except for being quieter than usual, seemed none the worse for what it had gone through. This is one of the most important medical discoveries that has lately been made.

A New Orleans man thinks he has struck a yood thing. He would have iron. tele- graph poles, and have them cast hollow. These will serve the double purpose of hold- ing up the wires and ventilating the sewers. If he would carry the scheme a little fur- ther, he might connect all the stovepipes in the city with them, and thus their useful- ness could be further extended.
