Mr. Matruew ALLAN is responsible for a challenge on behalf of ten dead shota drawn from among the Grits, to ten Liberal-Con- servatives, to a shooting match at Kensington range. Mr. Allan must be joking. If he means business, let him produce his Grits. We imagine that he will, just now, find some difficulty in producing ten Grits.

On Sunday morning last a family living in Gottingen Street, Halifax, went to church, leaving the house in charge of a young ser- vant girl, who seemed to be in her usual good health and spirits. When they re- turned they found the girl a raving manic. She was so violent that outside assistance had to be procured to secure her in a room.

Mr. YRo is reported by the ‘ Patriot” as saying in the House of Commons that ‘‘ Mr. Pope pledged himself not to take a seat in the Cabinet.” How Mr. Yeo could give utter- ance to such an unmitigated” mistatement is a marvel. Mr. Pope addressed some thirty public meetings in this Connty during the electoral campaign; and thousands could be got to testify that he was never asked for such such a pledge, and he certainly never gave one,

Mr. Brecken’s Last Speech.

ee

Tue following is the Mail's summarised report of Mr. Brecken’s short speech re- specting the insults heaped upon this Pro- vince by the Leader of the Opposition :—

Mr. Brecken said he learned one lesson from the member for Lambton, and that was that it was to no public man’s advan- tage to use such contemptuous and improp- er language as that which that yentleman was in the habit of using. (Hear, hear.) He had a respect for that gentleman. His

ition and ability entitled him to respect. he first time he (Mr. Brecken) rose to speak to this House he alluded to the valu- able services retidered by the First Minister in the case of the Fishery Award. But he (Mr. Brecken) was told by the hon. mem- ber for Lambton that he came from a little island in the east, the people of which were an ignorant lot. The hon. gentleman’s statement in that respect was indeed a proof of the saying that political gratitude was an ‘utter oblivion to favors re- ceived and a lively expectation of favors to come.” (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Brecken) remembered the time he owed his position to the representatives from the Island of Prince Edward, (hear, hear,) and he was astonished to hear the member for Lambton now placing such little importance on an expression of opinion from that Island. But the hon. gentleman, though he had had the oppor- tunity ef making an able speech, and though he had had his ayents as industrious as bees, but not half so honest, to misre- present the policy of the Government, the free and inde ndent electors of Prince Edward Island, who made the member for Lambton the Premier of Canada, had re corded their votes against him and against the member for Lambton.

Mr. TitteEY—That’s what the trouble is. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. Brecken—Tho member for Lamb- ton reminded him of what was said about Beau Brummel. He was once asked if he liked vegetables, and he said no ; he had once ate a pea and it disagreed with him. (Laughter.) The hon. member for Lam- ton was almost as fastidious as Beau Brum- mel. The verdict of the people of Prince Edward Island had been against that gen- tleman’s party, and now that he found that he had lost their support, he said it was an insult to the people of Canada to say that they had endorsed the policy of this Gov- ernment. It was anoutrage, wasit! This decision of the people of Prince Edward Island, did it disturb the hon. gentleman on his rosy bed? It was time that the hon. gentleman knew better than to say that the vote of a free people was an insult to this House or to this country. (Ap- plause. )

Orrawa, April 16. in the House to-day Mr. King asked whether it is the intention of the Govern. ment to make provision for a fish-breeding establishment in the St. John River or any of its tributaries this year.

_Mr. Pope answered that several members of the House had urged it strongly on the tsovernment, and it was under considera- tion.

Mr. Doull, as a question of privileges, replied to a newspaper charge that he had shirked the tariff vote. His absence was caused by indisposition ; it was not true that he was in his place a short time before the vote was taken. If he had been in the House he would have voted for the taritf resolutions. The adverse vote of the Pic- tou Board of Trade, which the paper said seared him, was pased when only seven inembers were present, six Grits and one Conservative, and the latter being in the chair, the vote was unanimous.

Lonpon, April 16.

There was fighting in Batusoland on the 2ist and 23rd March. A son and two grandsons of Morivisa and 80 Basutos were Killed. A number of cattle and horses were captured. The British loss was insig- nificant. The Boers meeting decided to never rest satisfied with less than inde- pendence.

Care Town, April 1.

The Colonial Secretary of Natal has tele graphed the Colonial Secretary of Cape Colony that Cevewayo has sent messengers to Lord Chelmsford with overtures for peace. It is thought that this is merely a ruse to obtain information of the meve- ments of British treops.

The Late William Ireland, Esq., Kingston, Ont.

Our of various references which occur in fyles of Kingston papers, now before us, as to this gentleman—the father of Mrs. Maclennan (St. James’ Manse) — whose death took place on the 6th inst., after an illness of about ten days, we select the following :—

** The flags on the City Buildings and on those of the University of Queen’s College stood at half-mast on Tuesday, the 18th,— the day of Mr. Ireland’s funeral,—the de- ceased gentleman having been for a num- ber of years the Chamberlain of the city, and also Secretary-Treasurer of the Uni- versity.

** In the City Council, which met on the evening of the previons day, a resolution of respect for the deceased, of sympathy for his family, and of an intention to attend the funeral in a body, as a testimony of re- gard, was adopted—having received the support of Alderman of all shades of opin- ion, expressed in terms of high eulogium.

At the same meeting Mr. Frank Ireland, the sixth son of the deceased Treasurer, who had been his assistant for a few years, was unanimously appointed tothe vacant office. In reference to this action, the Daily News says: ‘“‘The appointment of Mr. Frank Ireland to the position held by his late highly esteemed father, is a popular one.”

The funeral of Mr. Ireland took place on the afternoon of the 8th inst., and was very largely attended. The Rev. J. G. Smith and the city police preceded the hearse, after which came the seven sons of the de- ceased, and after that Principal Grant and the Professors of Queen’s College, wearing their hoods, caps and gowns, followed by a number of the students. Then came Mayor Gildersleeve, wearing the chain of office, the ex mayors, members of the corpora- tions, and city officials, and then a great number ef citizens, followed by a long line of carriages.
