PARLIAMENTARY CORRESPOND: NCE, Orrawa, Mareh, 5. PROHIBITION. To cay is remarkable as the day on which was begun, in Parliament, the agi- tation for a prohibitory Liquor Law. The subject was introduced by Mr. Foster, by means of a resolution in the following terms :— Resolved, That the object of good govern- ment is to promote the general welfare of the people by a careful encouragement and pro- tection of whatever makes for the public good, White Cottons and Sheetings, and by an equally careful discouragement anit suppression of whatever tends to the public disadvantage. | ‘That the traffic in alevholic liquors as boverages is productive of serious injury to the moral, social and industrial welfare of the people of Canada. That despite all pied ng legislation the evils of intemperance remains so vast in mag- | nitude, so.wide in extent and so destructive in effect as to constitute a social peril anda national menace. That this House is of the opinion for the reasons hereinbefore set forth, that the right and most effectual legislative remedy for these evils is te be found in the enactment and en- | | forcement of a law prohibiting the importation manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors able | ‘This was the text of a long and speech, during which Mr. Foster cited the opinions of Lord Chesterfield, Lord Broug-' ham, Rowland Hill, Oliver Goldsmith, Lord | Bacon, Richard Cobden, John Bright, W. | E. Gladstone, Cardinal Manning, Goldwin | Smith, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the’ New York 7'ribune, the London Limes, | Dr. Carpenter, Dr. Richardson, Dr. | Andrew Clarke, and many other authori- | ties, that the liquor traffic is the most pro- lifie cause of misery, siekness, pauperism, crime and death; in which he proved that it is opposed to the teachings of physio- logical, economic and social science; and in which he emphatically declared that the best heart and mind of this country now demand that it be put under the ban of the law and kept down by the strong hand of the Government. Of course it is not expected that the resolution will pass ;| for ‘‘Hon. members have not yet consulted their constituents.” It may, indeed, be many years before there will be a legal prohibition of the importation and sale of aleoholic liquor ; but the year jn which a Prohibitory lw will pass will come; and those good men who complain that the Scott Act should not be enforced because the importation of liquor is permitted will rejoice. DOUBTS TO BE REMOVED. A Bill has been introduced which pro- vides ‘‘that nothing in the Independence of Parliament Acts shall disqualify any mem- ber of the House of Commons from sitting or voting therein if by his commission or other instrument of appointment it is de- clared or provided that he shall hold such oftice, commission or employment without any salary, fees, wages, allowances emolu- ment or other profit of any kind that may be attached thereto,” Tupper, K. C, M.

Mr. Weld, editor of the Farmers Advocate, was examined before the Agricultural Committee this forenoon. He is opposed to the establishment of a Central Bureau ‘of agriculture, and thinks the free cir- ‘culation of literature by means of pamph- ‘lets, blue books, ete., would te detrimen 1 ‘rather than beneficial; for things whica ‘eost nothing are generally regarded as Practical information, in | worth nothing. by means of the agricultural journala and ‘newspapers’ of the country would, he thinks, lead to good results Mr. W. H Lynch, 1.200 bags Coarse Fishery Salt, on the other hand, thinks it would be im- ‘possible to estimate the good value ot a Bureau in connection with the Depart- ment of Agriculture.

In Ireland, he says, the action of the Government, com- bined with private enterprise, brought the dairy products of the country up from a very low to a_ very high standard. One of the best things the Government of Quebec hes done was the encouragement it gave to dairying; and the success attained by the cheese factories Rates moderate.

A Bureau of Agriculture at Ottawa could work out the necessary details, could establish connection all over Canada, obtain reports as to the wants of the several sections, and issue a digest of the various reports, which Would be invaluable THE INSECT WORLD. Mr. Fletcher, of the Parliamentary Library, was also examined to-day. He has been a siudent of evtomology since 1874, and, like all entomologists, has di- rected his studies with a view to the ame- licration of the ravages made by ivsects upon farm produce. From data obtained in the census reports he estimates the value of Dominion crops at $1,500,000 a year; and each year, he says, at least a tenth of the product is destroyed by insects. One of the most destructive insects isthe clover seed midge. It isa very small fly which deposits its cgg in the flower of the plant, and the young insect destroys the seed. The wheat’ midge, too, is in some years exceedingly destructive, having in one season ruined wheat in Ontario to the value of about $8,000,000. Everyone of the ravages of the army worm, for which the best remedy is to dig a trench and put into it tar, coal oil or some substance which is poisonons or obnoxious to them.

Itshould be applied in the month of June, when | the insects are young and tender. The) yearly loss vo Canada by insectside, Mr. | Fietcher estimates at $20,000,000. In) every part of the country there are 80) which attacks our orchards, \many injurious insects that farmers should | know how to deal with them, On an average, every plant has six varisties of insect enemies, Generally speaking, Paris) Green is the best antidote. It isa com- bination of arsenic and copper: and care- fully mixed with flour and sprinkled on the| plants will kill the insects without injuring | the plants or endangering human health or life. Mr. Fletcher would not advise the appointment of an official entomologist ; but he thought that afew thousands of dollars judiciously expended every year, under the supervision of the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, would have a good effect in the difusian of knowledge respect- ing insects. FOUL PLAY. —— By Charles Reade. CHAPTER LXIV. Srp _Epwaxp Rosieston could not but feel his obligations to the Wardlaws, and, | when his daughter got better, he spoke) warmly on the subject, and asked her to consider seriously whether she had not tried Arthur's affection sufficiently, ‘He does not complain to you, I know,’ said he; ‘but he feels it very hard that you should punish him for an act of injustice that haz already so deeply afflicted him. He says he believes some fool or villain The Bill further sets forth that,— pan him say that two thousand pounds “Whereas the Honorable Sir Charles|¥as to be borrowed between them, and while Minister of Went aud imposed on Robert Peufold’s cre- |dulity; meaning, Parliament of Canada for the County of @fter the note had been cashed, and get perhaps, to call again Arthur’s share of the money.’ ‘But why did he not come forward!’ ‘He declares he did not know when the ‘trial was till a month after; and his father bears him out; says he was actually de- \jirious, and his life in danger. 1 myself lean testify that he wes cut down just in ‘this way when he heard the ‘Proserpine’ was lost, and you on board her. Why not ‘give him credit for the same genuine dis- itreas at young Penfold’s misfortune ! \Come, Helen, is it fair to afflict and punish \this gentleman for the misfortune of ‘another, whom he never speaks of but |with affection and pity? He says that if 'you would marry him at once, he thinks he should feel strong enough to throw him- self into the case with you, and would spare neither money nor labor to clear | Robert Penfold; but, as it is, he says he ‘feels so wretched, and so tortured with i. jealousy, that he can’t co-operate warinly with you, though his conscience reproaches chim every day. Poor young man! His ‘ig really ahard case. For you promised ‘him your hand before ever you saw Robert Penfold.’ ‘J did,’ said Helen; but I did not say when. Let me have a year to my good ‘work, before I devote my whole life to | Arthur.’ | *Well, it will be a year wasted. Why postpone your marriage for that? ‘T promised.’ | Yes, but he chose to fancy young Ward- law is his enemy. You might relax that, now he tells you he will co-operate with you as your husband. Now, Helen, tell the truth—is it a woman’s work? Have you found it so? Will not Arthur do it better than you? Helen, weakened already by days of suffering, began to cry, and say, *What shall I do? what shall I do?’ ‘If you have any doubt, my dear,’ said Sir Edward, then think of what J owe these Wardlaws.’ And with that he kissed her, and left her in tears; and soon after, sent Arthur himself up to p’ead his own cause. It was a fine summer afternoon; the long French casements, looking on the garden of the Square, were open, and the balmy air came in and wooed the beautiful girl’s check, and just stirred her hair at times. Arthur Wardlaw came softly in, and gazed at her as she lay; her loveliness filled his heart and soul; he come and knelt by her sofa, and took her hand, and kissed it, and his eyes glistened with tenderness. He had one thing in his favor. He loved SIncLE Copies Two CENTS. VOL. M.—-NO, $7. Her kno wiedge of this had more than once befriended him, and made her refuse to suspect him of any great ill; it befrieuded him now. She turned a lock of angele pity en him. ‘Poor, Arthur!’ sheraid. ‘1 both unhappy.’ ‘But we saall te happy, ere long, I hope, said Arthur. Hele shook her head. Then he patted her, and cosxed her, and said he would be her servant, as well as a husband, and no wish of her heart should go ungratified. ‘None?’ she said, fixing her eyes on him ‘Not «a e, said he > ‘upon my hom - Then he was so soft ard persuasive, aud alluded so delicately to her plighted feith that she felt like a poor bird caught in a silken net, ‘Sir Edward is very good, sal he; ‘he feels for me.’ At that moment a note was sent up. ‘Mr. Wardlaw is here, avd has asked me when the mariage is to be. I can’t tell him; I look lke a fool.’ Helen sighed deeply and had begun to gather those tears that weaken a woman. She glanced despair ngly to and fro, and saw no escape. Then, Heaven knows why or wherefore- protably with no clear de- sign at all, |ut a'woman’s weak desire to cause a momentary diversion, to put «ff the inevitable for tive minutes—she said to Arthur; ‘Please give me that prayer-book, Thank you. It is right you should know this,’ and she put Cooper's deposition, and Welch’s, into his hands. He devoured them, and started up in great indigration. ‘It is an abominable slander,’ said he. ‘We have lost ten thou- eand pounds by the wreck of that ship, and Wylie’s lie was saved by a miracle as well as yourown. Itisa foul slander. I hurl it from me.’ And he made his words g: od by whirling the prayer book out of the window. Helen uttered a scream. prayer book !’ she cried. ‘Oh ! I beg pardon,’ said he. ‘As well you may,’ said she. send George after it.’ ‘No, I'll go myself,’ said he. ‘Pray for- give me, you don’t know what a terrille slander they have desecrated your prayer- book with.’ He ran out and was a long time gone. He came back at last, looking terrified. ‘l can’t find it,’ said he; ‘somebody ha carried it off. Oh, how unfortunate I am | ‘Not find it!’ said Helen. be found.’ ‘Of course it must be found,’ said Arthur. Its pretty scandel to go into the hands of Heaven knows who.

I don’t want to say anything unkind Arthur, but you ought not to have thrown my prayer- book into the public street.’ ‘I know I ought not. Jam ashamed of it myself,’ ‘Well, let me see the advertisement.’ ‘You shall. Ihave no doubt we recover it. Next morning the Times contained an advertisement cflering twenty guineas for a prayer-book lost in Hanover Square, and valuable, not in itself, but esa relic of a deceased parent. In the afternoon Arthur called again to know if anybody had brought the prayer- book back. Helen shook her head sadly, avd said ‘No.’ He seemed very sorry, avd so penitent, that Helen said: ‘Do not despair. And, if it is gone, why, I must remember that you heve forgiven me something, and I must for- give you,’ The footman came in. ‘If you please, miss, here is a woman wishes to speak to you; faye she has brought a prayer-book.’ ‘Oh show her up at once,’ cried Helen. Arthur turned away his head to hide a cynical smile. He had good reasons for thinking it was not the one he had flung out of the window yesterday. A tall woman came in, wearing a thick vail that concealed her features. She entered on her business at once. ‘You lost a prayer-book in this Square yesterday, madam.’ ‘Yes.’ ‘You offer twenty guineas reward for it.’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Please to look at this one.’ Helen examined it, and said with joy it was hers. Arthur was thunderstruck. He conld not believe his senses. ‘Let me look at it,’ said he. His eyes went at once to the writing, He turned as pale as death and stood petrified. The woman tock the prayer-bvok out of his hand and said: ‘Excuse me, sir, but it is a large reward, and gentlefolks sometimes’ go from their word when the article is found.’ Helen, who was delighted at getting back her book, and rather tickled at Arthur having to pay twenty guineas for losing it, burst out laughing, and said : ‘Give her the reward, Arthur; I am not going to pay for your misdeeds.’ ‘With all my heart,’ said Arthur, strug- gling for compesure. He sat down to draw a check. ‘What name shall | put !’ ‘Hum! Edith Hesket.’ ‘Two t's? ‘No, only one.’ ‘There.’ *Thank you, sir.’ She put the check into her purse, and vrought the prayer buok to Helen. ‘Lock it up at once,’ said she, im @ v: ice so low that Arthur heard her murmur, "ut not the words; and she retired, leaving Helen staring with amazement, and Arthur in a cold prespiration. u aud | are ’ ‘My mother’s ‘Run and ‘But it must thall her.
