tightly, and not let the money by any means escape.

Thoroughly determined on that point, our young friend pressed his hands t- gether till he was red in the face.

‘Master quite sure got money in his hand?’ asked the juggler.

‘ Quite,’ was the reply.

‘Can feel him master?’

‘Yes.’

‘The juggler took the gentlemen's two hands between his own,and muttered some cabalistic words, then blowing upon them, and giving them a heavy shake, he asked with a grin, ‘ Can feel him now, master?’

Starting from his chair with a bouad, and we are sorry to record it, with an oath, the young Englishman with an affrighted look unclasped his hands, and there fell on the floor, beneath, not the rupee, but a lively, wriggling, little snake, about fifteen inches long, which made immediately for the legs of Capt. McTurk.

Now this gentleman, who under ordinary circumstances was as brave as a lion, by no means relished, or was prepared for an en= counter with the devil, of whom he doubt~ Jess believed the approaching reptile was an incarnation, so hastily tossing both legs high up in the air the worthy captain lost his balance, and, together with his chair, came heavily to the ground, though, fortun- ately, with no serious consequence beyend a broken back—of the chair we mean.

The worthy skipper soon picked himself up, and seeing that the snake had been captured by the lad, round whose arm it was now entwined, joined in the general laugh, and seated himself again in another chair that was placed for him,

‘Master, take this rupee again,’ said the uggler, offering the coin to Mr. Hawthorne

ith, it must be cofessed, a regretful look.

‘ By Jupiter! no,’ said the gentleman,you have fairly earned it, besides—’

‘It might turn into a snake again, in your pocket, you were going to say, Haw- thorne,’ said Mr. Kemp. ‘Come confess.’

‘ Well, there’s no knowing what that imp of darkess might do, after what we have witnsssed,’ replied his friend.

An empty flower~pot was now placed up- on the floor by the juggler, who requested that his comrade might be allowed ,to bring up some garden mould from the little plot of ground below. Permission being ac- corded the man went, and in two minutes, returned with a small quantity of fresh earth, tied up in the curner of his chudder which was deposited in the flower-pot and lightly pressed down, Taking from the basket a dry mangostone, and handing it around to the company so that they might examine it and satisfy themselves that it was really what it seemed to be, the jug- gler scooped out alittle earth from the centre of the flower-pot and placed the stone in the cavity. He then turned the earth lightly over it, and having poured little water over the surtace, shut the flower pot out of view ty means of » sheet thrown over a small triangle.

And now, amid a full chorus of voices and the rat-tat tat accompaniement of the tabor, the stone germinated; presently & section of the cloth was drawn aside, and gave to view the tender shoot, characteriz. ed by the two long leaves of s blackish- brown colour. The cloth was readjusted, and the incarnation resumed. Not long

Maren 30, GOVERNMENT FARM. Hon. Mr. Dodd asked the Leader of'! the Government if it was intended to bring in a bill this session to appropriate a part of Government House farm to the citizens of Charlottetown for a park. Hon. Mr. Strong replied that it was the intention of the Government to bring in a bill for that purpose. WHARFS AND BRIDGES,

i

sembly by Hon. A. J. McDonald and | read the first time, and ordered to be read | the second time to-morrow. Adjourned. |

Marcu 31. WHARVES AND BRIDGES.

A bill relating to wharfs and bridges was, according to order, read the second time, and on moving that it be referred to committee,

Hon. Mr. Strong said that it was similar to a bill which was before this House last session. It would authorize the Government to let certain wharfs and bridges by public competition or private contract. It also fixed the rates of wharf- a Our revenue was small, and it was thought that we should derive some re- venue from our wharfsand bridges. The wharfinger or lessee would be required to make returns of the number of bushels of grain shipped, and the amount of wharf- age received. It also made provision for vessels passing through draw bridges.

The Bill was then reterred to com- mittee.

Hon. Mr. McEwen in the chair.

Hon. Mr. Strong said that there was no doubt bat they would all agree upon the fundamental principle of letting wharfs and bridges by public tender, but in some instances that principle could not be carried into effect, because some small unimportant wharfs were not considered worth tendering for. In other instances parties clubbed together, and it was for the public interest to allow the Govern- ment, in such cases, to exercise their own judgment. At the same time the policy of the Government was to let the wharts and bridges by tender. It was approved of by our mercantile men.

on. Mr. Laird had been led to Lelieve that some new light had spruag up in re- ference to this matter—that some reason -would be given for allowing the Govern- ment such power. His honor had failed to show any precedent for the Government

which there were no tenders, and when no person would take a wharf subject to

the conditions and for the fees allowed.

Hen. Mr. Maun wae not in favor of giving such power to avy Government, but still he did not see how it could be

avoided.

A corrupt Government might

take advantage of it, but he did not think

there was much to fear.

He would sup-

port the clause unless some amendment was suggested to meet the case.

After a few further remarks, progress was reported, aad the House adjourned till four o’clock, p. m.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Hon. Mr. Strong laid before the House | tion a wharfinger would have to be paida

QUEEN’s COUNTY JaiL.

Hon. Mr.

plained of with respect to Queen’s County

Jail.

ago at a statement of the condition of that

for that purpose.

subject.
