England, Scotland and Ireland can be handed over to no man and to no movement; neither can they wrong one an- other, or put fetters on the liberties of any member of our great imperial commonwealth.

Now, I wish you-to state in your paper that the report is utterly without foundation in fact, as I was never enga, ged in any such trans- action; and further, to let me know the name or names of the parties from whom you re- ceived your information, as I am determined to prosecute them as far as the law will allow.

The Horn Spoon.

Sir,—The horn spoon has once more found its way into the law office of Messrs. MecLean,. Martin & Macdonald, the _ first named gentleman having captured it at the competition yesterday. As there are several students in their office who are also members of the Rifle Club, and can miss the target quite as often as their preceptors, it is more than likely that the spoon will become a fixture in that establishment. This is nofas it should be. I am opposed to monoplies of every description, and think that this particular monoply should be frowned down, There are other mem- bers of the Club who would like to obtain the spoon just once; but try hard as they

can their efforts are unsuccessful when this legal firm has a representative on the grounds. Asa means of giving some one

else a chance to obtain the spoon, I would suggest that the entire staff of the office in question—from the senior member down to the junior student—be ruled out of the next contest. Yours, etc., Boa .DUus.

Now, no foreign vessel is allowed to transport a cargo from one port of the United States to another, and it is suggested that Congress shall authorize the President to enforce the same Two or three

rule upon railroad cars.

sound lawyers who have been looking it the suggestion are of opinion that there is not even new legislation

needed to authorize the proposed course. They assert that the Secretary of the Treasury has sufficient authority, and that the practice that has grown up ‘of allowing Canadian cars and trains, which pay no duties and no taxes in this country, to take part in our inland transportation is contrary to the policy which excludes foreign vessels from our coasting trade, and tolerates in favor of Canadian railroad owners a system- atic evasion of duties and taxes which our own car-builders and owners must pay. The Canadian government, which is harrying our fishermen, is itself owner to the extent of abouttwo hundred milliondollars in Can- adian railroads, and is therefore daily and largely protiting by their share in our inter- nal commerce, while it is denying to our fishermen the commonest hospitalities. If our fishermen must not be allowed to buy coal, ice or bait, o1 within three miles of the Canadian shores, why should Canadian companies be allowed to take a large share of our inter-State commerce ?” ee British Polities and Politicians.

WAT DECLARED. United Ireland declares wak upon the landlords and says :

‘‘Another campaign against landlordism is inevitable. No organization could repress it, and none is required to conduct it for 1t is the principle of self-preservation that sets it on. ‘There will be nothing unlawful; nothing in the least criminal; but in landlord eyes it is in the highest degree criminal and illegal for a bank- rupt tenant not ts pay forty shillings to the e a bankrupt trader would oltain honesty for ten. The less criminality there will be, we may be sure, the louder will be the landlord clamor for co- ercion. Before many months, therefore, by a law of nature as imperative as the process of the suns, the landlords will declare war for their rents with fire and sword and crowbar, and Lord Salisbury will be obliged to pray Parliament to come to their assistance witha new-fangled Coercion Act. Then will come the tug of war. Much misery, sacrifice and strife there will have to be in the meantime and afterwards ; but for all that the responsi- bility be on the heads of the blind and arro- gant caste who have scorned and spat upon the proffers of. sincere and honorable peace with their fellow-cougtrymen. — notion that Mr. Parnell and his party will precipitate the crisis with ebullitions of childish obstruc- tion in the House of Commons is worthy of the wisdom which has spurned the eamest longing of the Irish heart for peace.”

I pon this 4 London correspondent re- marks :

“There isyo mistaking what all this means. It means, if it means anything. at all, renew ed agitation and the outburst of crime and outrage, repudiation of contracts, non-pay- ment of rents and coercion, as it is called, without stint. The prospect is nota bright but it must be faced. Before the Separ- ationist idea is fully disposed, Ireland must apparently pass through an ordeal before which all that has gone before will fall into insignificance. The Parnellites cannot afford to wait. For them rest means stagnation and destruction. To stand still is to go back. They cannot afford eight months of repose such as we have just passed througa, and during which the farmers have paid ther rents without much difficulty and with more punctuality than for some years. Crime alse, except in the connty Kerry, has decreased in a very marked degree, and yet, inthe face of these facts, United Ireland deliberately de- clares war on the landlords, and lays the whole blame on ‘‘the Tories and their Liberal- Unionist accomplices, who have been building dams across the natural flow of lish feeling ; and whether we like it or no, we shall not have long to wait for the bursting of the waters and the inundation.”

Hier Last Opera. A PRIMA DONNA BECOMES INSANE THROUGH GRIEF AT THE THEATRE.

A tragic story is told by the Cologne Grazette of the sad experience and cruel fate of the favorite Italian prima donna Zairia Gattini. A short time ago Zairia,.. her mother and two brothers went to Bard, where the prima donna was to fulfil an engagement. While there the mother be- came ill. Physicians were called, but the patient steadily grew worse. Zairia at- tended at the bedside of her mother during the day and generally appeared at the theatre each night, leaving her brothers to watch over the sick one. One night, while Zairia was absent at the theatre, the physi- cians informed her brothers that their mother was in a hopeless condition and could live but a few hours at the most. The elder of the brothers, crazed by grief at this announcement, seized a pistol and shot himself dead in the presence of his mother, who expired almost immediately afterward. The younger brother hastened to the theatre to inform his sister. He was admitted, and met her just as she was leaving the stage, burdened with flowers and her ears ringing with the applause of the audience. ina few words he told her what had happened, when, with a scream that was heard all over the house, she ran to a window and attempted to throw herself to the ground. She was restrained by friends who, attracted by her cries, rushed towards her, and she was immediately con- veyed to her apartments. When her paroxysm of grief had subsided, it was found that the shock ha! deprived her of her reason permanently, the physicians fear, and she is now confined in an asylum.
