MARCH 30, 1887. New Zealand Legislative Council. A fresh attempt is to be made to reform the legislative council ef New Zealand. At present its members are simply nomi- nated by the governor, on the recommen- dation of his responsible advisers, and they receive a so-called ‘honorarium’ of 200 guineas yearly. Sir John Hall, when premier, about five years ago, reconstitute the council on elective basis, the councillors to be elected by the house of representatives. This, it will be re- membered, was not very favorably received at the time, and never reached any prac- tical stage. When Sir Frederick Whit- taker succeeded to the premiership he too brought in a measure with the same ob- ject; but his plan was that the councillors should be elected by the votes of the whole colony, the election to be con- ducted on his favorite Hare system. In- deed, he went so far as to have a mock election carried out by the members of the civil service, the ‘candidates’ being English authors, of whom a certain number were to be ‘elected’ as favorites. The result was submitted to Mr. Frankland, the govern- ment actuary--one of the most gifted and remarkable men in the colony—who deals with it as a labor of love, and produced probably the most interesting and delight- tul report ever seen on so dry a subject. The scheme now proposed is virtually a remodelling of Sir John Hall’s plan. The details of the measure have not yet been |; detinitely settled, but a general under- |, ta\iig is understood to have been arvived ,‘ at as to the main features of the bill, which are said to be as follows: First, a reduc- tion in the numerical strength of the council, to be effected by not filling up present or future vacancies until the stand- ard number which may be fixed shall have been reached. Second, all future legislative councillors to be elected by the house of representatives,either by ballot or by direct open, vote. Third, their tenure of oftice to be limited to a fixed term of seven or ten years. Fourth, provision be made to avoid a deadlock in the event of a difference of opinion between the two branches of the legislature, the mode probably being by both houses sitting and voting together in case of a conflict on any important public question. But probably very little en- thusiasm is likely to be inspired by this or any similar reform. Most people think the council does well euough as it is if only the government would abstain from flooding it with useless’additions, It will, of course, be said that one object of the proposed re- form is to prevent this abuse, but, on the the remedy may contain the seeds of still worse diseases than that it is designed to cure. It wat not anticipated that the measure would come up for practi- cal treatment this year.” och memati t a She Used a Boomerang. Annia Pfaff, the young and pretty wife of Saloon-keeper August Pfaff, on No. 189 Avenue A, New York, wasn’t quite sure that her husband’s love was her own, and in putting him to the test she passed through an experience which she entirely unexpected. Saturday evening Pfaff found her moaning piteously on the sofa, and in answer to his questions she said that having ascertained that he did not love her she had _ swallowed a dose of ‘Rough on Rats.” Instantly the hus- band was on his knees beside her and calling her pet names, and she was on the proposed to , Sineie Corres Two Cents.

The Chicago Jnter-Ocean says that in Canada they go tubogganing for fun, but in Ireland they go te bog gunning for meat. It is reported that Mr. C. J. Rykert, M. P. for Lincoln, will be the Government nominee for Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons. The Sultan of Morocco is very indignant at some correspondents who recently wrote very picturesgue accounts of the sale of women in the streets of Tangiers. Any newspaper man caught monxeying around ‘in the Sultan’s dominions hereafter will be treated to a taste of the bowstring. The Consul-General at Quebec, of the Argentine Republic has received a despatch from his Government, informing him that in cousequence of the stringent measures adopted, cholera has practically ceased in the city and Province of Buenos Ayres, and has nearly been eradicated in the western prev inces. The German Fishery Union intend to set out 7,000 young salmon in the Rhine and Weser this spring. A tiny silver plate with the number ‘1887” engraved on it will be attached to each fish. If that were to be done in this country some enterpris- ing fishermen would naiage to get those 7,000. silver plates if he had to sit up all night to do it. A man in New York State has discovered a method of making gas from crude pe- troleum at a cost of two cents per thousand eubic feet. If the inventor can get up a company with a paid up capital of $1, he will, at the prevailing price of gas to con- sumers, be in a fair way to make his for- tune. Some inventors, however, have to rustle round a long time before they can find a dollar. Society in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, is all torn up over « most mortifying dis- covery. It appears that the family of a noted burglar has occupied one of the finest residences on the most aristrocratic avenue in the city for years, and has mingled freely with the bon ton, in fact, was part and parcel of the creme de la creme. Now fash- ionable Cleveland bows its head in the dust and scatters ashes on its new bonnets. European girls, says a German savant, marry at the average age of 26 years. This authority probably went all over Europe asked every married woman how old she was when she swore allegiance to her husband and then in each case added on six years to make sure. The German savant ought to be able to give some in- teresting information as to the average sub- tracting | power of the European girl. There is perhaps no country in the world where there is so much discontent and general wretchedness as in Germany, with the possible exception of Ireland. Social- ism unmasked is stronger there than Nihil- ism isin Russia or Anarchism in France. Elements of internal and incessant discord are seething in every community. And yet in a momeut the people of the whole empire are ready to spring toarms in defense of the iron rule they detest. Whatever purpose France may have had in sending De Lesseps to the German court, he seems to be personally bent on point of telling him’ that she had been merely joking, when he dashed out of the | house, and meeting Policeman Schmidt, of | the Fourteenth precinct, requested him to ring for an ambulance, as his wife had taken a and was dying. After the policeman ad summoned an ambulance he went to the saloon-keeper’s apartments and made a prisoner of Mrs. Pfaff onthe charge of attempting suicide. The ambulance surgeon looked down her throat, slapped her on the back and walked her up and down the room atthe rate of six miles an hour. Then she was taken down the stairs and placed in the ambu- lance, althuugh she protested that she had not taken poison. At Bellevue Hospital she screamed when she saw the doctor with the stomach pump, but she couldn't help herself, andthe doctor's disgust can be imagined when nota trace of poison was discovered. She was discharged aud she was going home wits her delighted husband when Policeman Schmidt interposed. She was his prisoner for attempting suicide, and as he had already reported the case to his cap- tain he was compelled to arrest her, and use the husband, who had given him the information, as complainant. Mrs. Pfaff remained in the sitting room of the Fifth street station-house uutil Essex Market Court opened the following morning, when she was arraigned before Justice O'Reilly, and after she had told her story she was prekereet: Astonishing § Success. It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderful ualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Cou ughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneu:nonia, and in faet throat and lung diseases. No nm ean use it without im- mediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all drug- gists to recommend it to the poor, dying con- sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 50,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask your druggist about it. Samples bottles to try, sold at 10 cents.

Trial telling what he knows about the Panama canal. When newspaper representatives interview him on his mission he begins im- mediately to talk canal, and he talks it so well that the i.terviewers forget what they came to find out. Le Grand Francais knows how to change the subjector perhaps it should be said that he does not know how to change it. Proprietors of the Canadian sugar _re- fineries have been holding a conference for some days past with a view to consider how the depression that has cost them se dear during the past year can be remedied without closing down. Representatives of the Nova Scotia and Moncton refineries in conference with representatives of the Canada and St. Lawrence refineries, agreed that an advance in price should be made, and ia making their contracts for the com- ing season they would stand out for an ad- vance. Each company would do this on its own merits and there will not be any at- tempt at pooling. A good deal of reasonable excitement is felt in some New York commercial circles over the fact that bales of products from cholera-infected districts of South America are being shipped to New York, and that no precautionary measures seem to be taken by the proper authorities. In view of the terrible risks involved it is surely an extraordinary thing that the New York Health Commission is not doing its duty better than that. It might, at any rate, institute inquiries, and, if needful, follow the example of the Emperor of Brazil and establish quarantine against products coming from Chili, Paraguay and other places where cholera exists. Mr. Goldwin Smith's address before the aristocratic ‘‘Thursday Club,” on March 17th, has just become public. Mr. Smith thought the question of Imperial Federa- tion presented so many obstacls that it must always fremain an idle dream, The speaker, in closing, impressed upoa his audience the consideration of commercial union between Canada and the United States, as the obvious dictate of nature and the proper solution of the fisheries ques- tion and of all commercial questions be- twéen the two countries. He felt sure that the idea was making way in Canada, and if definitely brought before the Canadian people it would meet with assent. Into the future political relation of Canada and the United States, the speaker said he would forbear to enter, that being quite a separate matter, and as such having been wisely excluded froin the evening's dis- cussion. He earnestly desired that when Canada left the side of the Mother State bottles 10 cents. dy wy ee ee Goon codfis will be sold cheap at W. P.
