NATIONAL RELATIONS ALTERED BY DISCOYV- ERIES OF WATT, STEPHENSON AND WHEAT- STONE.

Watt, Stephenson and Wheatstone, al- ready and while their discoveries are in their infancy, have altered the relations of every country in the world with its neigh- bors. The ocean barriers between conti- nents which nature seemed to have raised for eternal separation have been converted into easily travelled highways; mountain- chains are tunnelled; distance, once the most troubleso.ne of realities, has ceased to exist. The inventions of these three men determined the fate of the Slave States. But for them and their work the Northern armies would have crossed the Potomac in mere handfuls, exhausted, with enormous marches. The iron roads lent their help, The collected strength of all New England and the West was able to fling itself into the work; negro slavery. is at an end, and the Uniou is 2% to be split like Europe in- to a number of independent. States, but is to remain a single power, to exercise an in- fluence yet unimaginable on the future for- tunes Of mankind. Aided by the same mechanical facilities, Germany obliterates the dividing lines of centuries. The Ameri- cans preserved the unity which they had. The Germans conquer for themselves. a unity which they had not. France inter- feres, and haif a million soldiers are col- lected and concentrated in a fortnight; armies driven in like wedges, open rents and gaps from the Rhine to Orleans; and at the end of two months the nation whose’! military strength was supposed to be the, greatest in the world, is reeling paralyzed | under blows to which these modern contrivences have exposed her. So far we may be satisfied; but who can forsee the ul- timate changes of which these are but the initial .symptoins? Who will be rash’! enough to say that they will promote neces- | sarily the happiness. of mankind? They are but weapons which may be turned to! good or evil, according to the character of | those who best understand how to use them. —J. A. Froude, in Fraser's Magazine, Jan- wary, 1871.

MODERN DEMOCRACY.

It isa melancholy reflection that but little has been done by modern democracy to dignify and exalt mankind. The area of human happiness has certainly been extend- ed by the diffusion of freedom and

Legislatien Extraordinary.

Sir,—Anyone taking the trouble to look through the volumes of literature annually produced by the Local Legislature, must wonder at the necessity for so many acts ‘*to vest a vertain tract of Jand in Mr. So & So.” There is a venerable supersition in British dominions that the proper method of transferring land is by a deed of con- veyance, and in such regard is this ancient practice elsewhere held, that a man laying before any legislature a bill to vest a tract of land in himself, would be properly re- ferred to the party in whom the land was vested, to obtain from him the required conveyance. But it appears that our legis- lators take a different view of matters, and have added to their already onerous duties the management of a small conveyancing office, where for ten dollars the most shaky title can be made as secure as it is possible for an act of Parliament to make it. ** To what vile uses are we put, Horatio!”

If, however, the Legislature stopped at bolstering up bad titles the grievance would not be too great. But when they boldly undertake to vest a tract of land described by metes and bounds in any person who chooses to ask them to do so, and who is willlng to pay the necessary fee, the matter becomes almost unendurable. A _ glaring instance of this species of legislation is afforded in chapter twenty-two of the Acts of 1888. There, under a cloud of recitals,

_which no man, be he ever so well aware of the facts, could read through and under-

stand, a tract of land, in the possession of a party, who, at the time of the passing of the act was defending an action of eject-

{ment in the Supreme Court, was, without

the slightest notice, vested in the plaintiff in the case. After this, no man can feel secure in the possession of his property who has an enemy willing to spend ten dollars to dispossess him of it. Are there no bounds to such legislation? In truth the only limit seems to be that which nature has placed on the impudence of men, Yours &c., P QO.
