‘ * SFOCEIFL “NERS tga Cor: CSPoHRuchace, ®& We do not hold ourselves responsible for the statements or opinions of our correspondents,
Tho Railway. T'o the Editor of the Beaminer:
Dear Sir,—As Railway mismanagement is and has for some time been the chief topic of conversation on this Island, and some of the acts of the Superintendent and Train De- spatcher have been shown up by you, | trou ble you with a few truthful remarks concern. ing the men at the head of the Locomotive Department. This department consists chiefly of Grits—-at least they were such be- fore the 17th of September last,—and for par tiality the heads are famous. We have too many instances of this toenumerate. Nothing looks worse than to see men come from the Intercolonial Railway and get positions here, over the heads of our Island-born men, who, although young, are capable of doing their work and doing it well. They are sober, in- dustrious young men, and why not give them achance? Men came here and were given positions in the Locomotive Department whether with Mr. Stronach’s knowledge or not I don’t know), the duties of which they were totally incapable of performing, while we had men en the Island (natives) who could take those positions and performed their duty with credit to themselves and to the entire satisfaction of their superior officers.
Why was No. 12 Engine taken from Mr. McArthur, one of the oldest and best drivers on the railway, and given to a ‘‘chum” of Mr. Breen’s (Locomotive Foreman?) Was it be cause the young man Duncan who succeeded McArthur persuaded the Superintendent that McArthnr had no energy? [ think this is the correct statement, at least so rumer had it among us at the time. All were, and are astonished that Mr. Stronach would allow, and continues to allow, such a meau state of things to exist. He was, doubtless, led by the men instrumental in getting up presenta- tions of gold watches, silver services, ete. When the Locomotive, the chief Department of our Railway, is in such hands—surely, Mr. Editor, it is tume for some one to speak. Mr. Farlane has made ita practice ever since he came to work to be as disagreeable as possible with the men under him.
A thorough reorganization is required in this department as well as in other depart- ments on the road, and to secure safety to the travelling public and save engines, better and more capable men should fill the im>»ortant positions which are now filled with meve tools.
How is it, Mr. Editor, that 2 good Liberal- Conservative Government will permit such men as Stronach, Brown, McFarlane, and a great many more | could mention, to remain there and draw Government pay, aficr having used all their little infinence against. Pope and Brecken, both at the General and Local elec- tions? The men that sent the poor Catholics out on the line and deprived them of an op- portunity to exercise their franchise are al- lowed to remain in the pay of the public. It is not right.
Apologizing for taking up so much of your valuable space, I will ask one more question, which can no doubt be answered by Mr. Mc- Farlane: When or how did the reflector, pump and hose get from the works to the Alpha without the knowledge of the ‘ boss’?
Yours, etc., RaILRoaD.

The Select Library Committee. — Messrs. Anglin, Daly, McDonnell.
The St. John Sun remarks that as these committees’ are under the control of the majority in the House, it will be observed that the Maritime members of both political parties are fully represented. Of course a considerably majority of Government sup- porters is to be found on each committee, the proportion of political parties being maintained there as in the House. We un- derstand that all the leading members of the Opposition have been placed on these committees, and that their complexion is such as to disarm complaint, A good!deal
of curiosity is evinced here, as in Ottawa, to learn the names of the gentlemen whom
the several committees will select for their chairmen, the selection being generally taken to indicate the men, outside of the Government, whom both the Government and the members of the party regard as, next to the ministers, their most promising and most capable leaders. .We shall preb- ably learn in a day or two what selection has beenmade. The two most important committees are those of Banking and Com- merce, and Railways, Canals and Tele- graphs, and it is to be hoped that a judicious choice will be made in regard to these particularly.

The Inmates of Rideau Hall.
[Ottawa Correspondence of the New York World. |:
ee
So far, the Marquis and the Princess Louise have achieved an unalloyed tri- umph. Their state and semi-state dinners, drawing-rooms and ‘‘ at homes” equal— they could hardly surpass in popularity— those by which Lord Dufferin made himself the idol of Canada. The dining-room has been enlarged and re-decorated. The walls are covered with the royal arms and the bearings of the seven provinces, about which flutter the royal standard and the flags of the various nationalities of which the Deminion is composed. Paintings of no mean merit— for both of the hosts; like Dnfferin, handle the pencil and the brush— add to the general air ef comfort and refine- went. But the main charm is the easy and dignified manner of the hosts them- selves. When the Marquis’ appointment was first announced, the Ottawa lumber dowagers, and all that class which the Ro mans included under the head of new peo- ple, flocked to dancing-masters and teachers of elocution, who professed to be learned in Court etiquette. But the Princess is so much like any other clever and accom- plished lady, and the Marquis has so much clear natural sense, that the veriest igno: ramus in the gentle seience of backing and bowing and Conrt procedure finds himself as well off as the most industrious of them. To be sure, some of the visitors would be none the worse for alesson. It is said that at the ‘‘at home,” on Thursday night, after
__o—- + TD
receiving and chatting with a number of .
French Canadian ladies—to whom nature has taught the best of etiquette—the Princess was confronted by a stout English matron who held fast to the royal hand, while she related how on a recent visit to “Yurrup” she had seen ‘tthe Hempress of Hindia at Chisel’urst, where the poor dear Hempress Heugenie lives.” And the Prin. cess, turning to one of the ladies of her suite, smiled as the old lady passed on and said ‘‘I had begun to think Canada was a French colony, but now I am svre it is an English possession.” These refreshing in- cidents, however, are few and far between, for the hosts possess the happy faculty of hitting the intellectual and social level of their visitors, and generally contrive to keep the conversation well within that limit.
A few days ago a Toronto alderman of the class known as ‘‘ sports,” was here look- ing for a Government otlice. During his visit he called upon the Marquis at Rideau Hall, and in the name of the people of Tor- onto urged him to pay that city a visit at the first opportunity. His speech was to this effect: *‘ Your Royal Highness, you can just bet that when you come to Toronto
we'll make things howl and make ‘ein hot¥
The boys in the City Council, they’re good ‘uns, you bet, and we'll just give you the biggest time you ever saw, your Highness.” The Marquis was afterwards fain to confess that he came out of this encounter second best, like the parson who tried to plumb the depths of Buck Fanshawes conversa- tion.
A cable message came from Lord Duffer- in yesterday, asking that the sleighs and other winter gear he had left behind might be shipped to him forthwith for use in St. Petersburg. The Marquis answered that Lord Dufferin’s Ottawa friends preferred to send him a new set by way of a souvenir.
Some astonishment has been expressed
that the Princess and the ladies of the suite ~ should still appear in half mourning, though ~

of the Princess Alice expired three weeks.
ago. It appears, however, that what is
known as the Cuurt limit relates only to ~
heavy mourning and seclusion; on its ter- mination half mourning is worn for four months. The dresses in which the Princess
usually appears have been variously de- —
scribed as back satin and black silk. It may interest your lady readers to know that they are really mourning pouwlt de soie. On State occasions they are cut low-necked, and in this the ladies of the suite and Lady McDonald, the Premier's wife, follow the Prircess’s example; but the low-necked or- der, which raised such a storm about Col, Littleton’s ears at the Montreal ball, has passed into what Martin Luther irreverent® ly called ‘‘ the limbo of dead bulls.” ,
