L. GOTTOR, “Ch’town, Des. 6, 1877, ‘he O’Donohue Amnesty. The O’Donohve matter has at last been settled, but under circumstances which can- not be other than deemed utterly diegrace- ful and humiliating to the present Cabinet. When it is remembersd that the murdever Riel was not only amnestied, but was aided and abetted in his secret visit to Ottawa by those high in authovity ; when it is remem- bered that no effort. was made to arrest him when he presented himself to sign the roll of Parliament ; when it is remembered how he was concealed, as is alleged, in the very Government buildings; with the cognizance of some high in authority, then it is a very difticult matter to understand why another fender, the man O Donohne, should have been left out, so to speak, in the cold. lt is hard to understand the fact if we consid- er the subject simply as illumined by the light of justice, but not possibly by the politics. But it seems that, at times, pol- itics may drive a Ministry into the commit- tal of an act of relative, if not real, justice. In such a case, however, the concession comes too late. It is an ill and sorry act of ** justice” when a Government does it mere- ly by way of expediency. But it is evident that expediency, and expediency alone, has caused the Cabinet to grant the present ain- nesty to the culprit, O’. Donohue, one which they so sternly refused last year. Then, it appeared from the statements of the Minis- ter of Justice of the period (Mr. Blake), that although Riel, a political offender, and murderer, to boot, had been amnestied, still there were grave difficulties in the way of dealing with )’ Donohue, and that it was, hence, the opinion of the Government that ‘‘the time had not arrived for taking any action on the matter, and that no real in- justice * * * * wasdone O’Donohue at the present memont. * * * * Tak- ing the exceptional circumstances under which Riel and Lepine were amnestied, which the Government had thought, and he believed still thought, had weight, they had ressed | not thought fit to agree to the present prop- osition, and would resist the motion of the honorable gentleman.” This speech referred to a motion of Mr. Costigan proposing “‘ that in the opinion of this House, as all distrust and disturbances have long ceased in the North-West Territories, it is just and prop- er that the said W. O’Donohue be placed in troubles as Louis Riel and A. L. Lepine.” That this man should have been amnestied at the same time and under the same conditions as the prime movers in the Scott murder, is self-evident, and it is somewhat hard to tell why the Minister of Justice of the year 1877 should have opposed such a scheme. And it is the harder because the same eminent lawyer some years before, as Prime Minister of Ontario, offered, in collu- sion with his colleagues, a reward of $5,000 for the apprehension of the murder Riel. But Mr. Blake is not to-day Minister of Justice, and so to-day we find the culprit O’ Donoghue made the subject of an amnesty. If now, why not before? Was O'Donoghue worse than his friends? If so, he should not now have an amnesty extended to him. If not —if he did not do worse than commit acts of virtual assassination and rebellion, like Riel and Lepine—then he should have been pardoned before. The reason is one that does not need seeking very deeply. Much discussion has arisen concerning the position of O’ Donoghue, and the point has been one of embarrassment to the Government. The division on Mr. Costigan’s motion was voted down by a majority of forty-five, and the list of the Government supporters was as follows :— Messrs. Appleby, Archibald, Aylmer, Bain, Bannatyne, Barthe, Bechard, Bertram, Big- ger, Blackburn, Blake, Borden, Borron, Bow- man, Boyer, Brown, Buell, Burk, Burpee (St. John), Burpee (Sunbury), Carmichael, Cart- wright, Casey, Cauchon, Charlton, Cheval, Christie, Church, Cockburn, Coffiin, Cook, Cunningham, Dalorme, DeVeber, Dymond, Ferris, leet, Fleming, Flesher, Flynn, Fre- chette, Galbraith, Gibson, Gilmour, Goudge, Greenway, Gouthrie, Hagar, Hall, Higin- botham, Holton, Horton, Irving, Jette, J ones, (Halifax), Kirk, Laflamme, Lajoie, Landerkin, Langlois, Laurier, Little, Macdonald (Corn- wall), Macdonald (Toronto), McDougall (Ren- frew), McKay (Cape Breton), Mackenzie, Mc- Craney, McIntyre, McIsaac, McLeod, McNab, Metcalfe, Mills, Oliver, Paterson, ran Pet- tes, Pickard, Pouliot, Power, Pay, Robillard, Ross (Durham), Ross (Middlesex), Ross (Prince Edward), Ryan, Rymal, Scatcherd, Scriver, Shibley, Sinclair, Smith (Selkirk), Smith (Westmoreland), Snider, St. Jean, Thompson (Haldimand), Thompson (Welland), Trow, Vail, Wallace (Albert), Wood, Workman, Young. In this list may be seen the name of Mr. Laurier, the Minister of Inland Revenue. That gentleman has been defeated in Drum- mond and Arthabaska, but there is an Irish vote in Quebec Hast. Hence this suddon extension of favour to O’Donohue.—Toronto Leader. 2+: b> -o o> ——_ —-_—_ The Dutch East India Budget, which has at The Hague, proposes that from the year 1879 all foreigners in Java, both European and Asiatic, shall pay a personal tax and patent duty, which it is expected will yield a million florins. Provision is also made for railways and schools. The Garman Government puts at a high figure the military if not the commercial value of almost direct railway communication with Italy by means of a tunnel through the Swiss Alps. It has already contributed a large amount in aid of this project, and is yacgntess it seems, if the German Parliament will con- sent, to expend some millions of dollars more cn the great work. the same position with regard to the said] just been submitted to the Second Chamber ing ———— Remedy for Trouble. Work is yourstrue remedy. If misfort:ine hits you hard, you hit something else hard pitch into something witha will. There's nothing like good, solid, exhausting work -® cure trouble. If you have met with losxs you don’t want to lie awake and think about them. You want sleep—caln, sound sleep —and eat your dinner with appevite. But you can’t unless you work. lf you sa you don’t feel like work, and go loafing all day to tell Tom, Dick and Harry the story of your woes, you'll lie awake, and keep your wife awake by your tossing, spoil your tem- per and your breakfast next morning, and begin to-morrow feeling ten times worse than you do to-day, ‘There aré some great troubles that only time can heal, and per- haps some that never can be healed at all - but all can be helped by the great i work. ‘Try it, you who are afflicted.

All good physicians in regular standing prescribe it in cases of mental and moral disease, It operates kindly, as well as leaving no dis- agreeable sequele, and we assure you that we haye taken a large quantity of it with most beneficial results. It will cure more complaints than any nostrum in the mcteria medica, and comes nearer to being a ‘‘cure all” than any drug in the market. And it will not sicken you if you do not take it sugar-coated. — — ~~ Too Much Ingenuity. — 4 The average husband is conceded by in- telligent wives to be utterly useless when at home. He . é — skilful in his ess, an may an affectionate husband and father, but when there is any- thing to be done in the house of the nature of repairing furniture, or removing chcap substitutes for er mep-handles, he is of less value than his own little boy. While this is undoubtedly true of most men, there is occasionally found one whose chief delight consists in constantly pryctising as an amateur cabinet-maker, plumber, or enter. He prowls about the house, articles on which he can use a little glue or varnish, and - ing plans for fill- ing up the corner of the i room with a few triangular shelves, and for putting up a wooden mantle-piece in the hall bed-room. The sound of his saw and hammer is heard every evening, vnd he goes to bed at late hours, with more paint adhering to his fin- gers than his wife regards as strictly neces- sary. It is a curious illustration of the per- versity of the female sex that a husband with this fondness for doing useful things is held among wives to be even mbre undesir- able than the kind of husband who is per- fectly useless. He is charged not only with a fiendish fondness for midnight hammer- ing but is constantly upbraided because he ‘makes too many chips.’ In vain does he explain that planing a board nevessarily re- sults in chips, and that sawdust is the in- evitable consequence of using asaw. He is told that he ought to be ashamed of himself, and that no decent man would -think of chipping all over the floor. These things, however, never dishearten a husband with a passion for carpenter’s tools and paint. He remains firm in the belief that by con- stantly making things which he does not want, at an average cost of two dollars’ worth of materials each, he is displaying a genius for economy and is on the high road to wealth.—N, Y. Times. -—- ——<> @ @e--- Mania for Drink. The Kansas City (Mo.) Times of Wednes- day has this reliable story: ‘‘ A singular instance of the power of alcoholic drink was brought publicly to notice yesterday. A young gentleman, a journalist, a capitalist, and a Christian, is the victim of a suddenly acquired mania which is quite remarkable. He went to visit his former home last sum- mer in Cincinnati. On his way home to Kansas he became sick, and, in the absence of a doctor, went to the steamboat bar and asked for and was given a drink of whisky. The drink coming upon a system unaccus- tomed to it, created an intoxieation, which has been perpetual ever since. It gave the young man such a manie, for strong drink that nothing could restrain him in his ex- cesses. There was nothing about his in- toxication offensive to those who visited him. On the contrary, his brilliant mind and inexhaustible fund of conversation seemed to be renewed. He knew that he was surrendering himself to drink and its fascinating effects, but paid no attention to the remonstrances of his friends. There was nothing violent in his ex- cesses. He was calm, mild and genial ; but insisted on drinking when he de- sired to drink, and he kept on drink- . He had a wife to whom he was devoted : he idolized her and made every provizion for her comfort, He was a mem- ber of achurch and in good standing; a good lawyer and the chosen leader of the Young Men’s Republican Club. He owns a large amount of real estate, and was on the way to wealth and prosperity. He had his life before this drink taken on the Ohio steamboat. Yesterday he wes taken East by his father and brother, where restraint will be put upon his actions, in the hope that the brilliant and cultivated mind may be saved from this strange and fatrl infatu- ation.” al all z ie hal sais, Sa never taken a drop of intoxicating liquor in ~ Pe ee i ‘ iF ‘ e ee ta a ONS: A Lge I Mane aR o8 oe Cem 90 th ponaecrepaitgallliiig tata inet?” yominattte em et.
