Another was upon beholding the procession, this year so self-denyingly set aside, when, from an elevation on Beacon Street, we looked forth upon the gorgeous stream of green and gold which defiled in perfect order from the back Bay upwards. Amidst the music of the bands, the wave of the banners, and the tramp of countless horses, I could not help admiring in particular, as they march- ed firmly onwards, like the battalions of a well-drilled army, the city school boys. “These,” IL remarked, ‘‘Will one day be well-organized leaders; and, cecasion the | third, when— Far away down the years, as car loads of merry young pleasure seekers (two of whom now occupy the first pulpits in Scotland) drove through the picturesque little town of Antrim, with its bright white-washed row of cottages, with floral favorites peep ing out from every window; and its un- picturesque urchins, turning somersaults and shouting at the pitch of their voices for ha'pence; past the fine mansion of Lord Massareen, with its broad green lawns, and fine old trees, on to the grounds of Shane’s Castle, the seat of the lordly O’Neil’s, des- venGants of the ancient Irish Kings. After visiting the new castle, (residence of the family), inspecting the famous dairies, and peering down the dungeon, and through the loop-holes of the old Castle, we stepped on to the battlements which guard tho coast, and thence gazed forth upon a scene of surpassing beauty. 4 Before us lay stretched away on to the potizon the gleaming waters of Loch Neagh, which glistened and danced far out in the svns'jne, and dashed up in silvery ripples at ourfeet, Without traitorous feeling to my native land, ‘‘land of the mountain and the flood,’ I can say that never have I felt acenery as upon that day. In all the awe- inspiring scenes, frowning mountains, and deep ravines of my fatherland, and in the calm, sweet beauty of the lake district cf my motherland, I never felt the mingling of admiration and pathos which engrossed me there. Gazing upon the lustrious wave, with the green gentle slopes and the ancient round tower in the distance, and the fisher- man casting his nets near by, it was im- — not to realize forcibly the lines of reland's loved poet;— "Oa Loch Neagh's nanbe as the fisherman strays, By the clear, cold eve’s declining, He sees the round towers of other days lu the wave beneath him shining. Thus shall memory often, in dreams sublime, Catch a glimpse of the days that are over ; And sighiag look through the waves of time For the long faded glories they cover.” men * With sunny memories of that long sum- mer day; with wishes for a beauteous ” country’s weal; and with admiration for the spirit which led to the resolve in Boston, a spirit which will bind in eternal brotherhood, differing nations and creeds, I am, sir, Yours, etc., 8S. MacLegop. Ch’town, Feb. 19, 1884. _——-—@———— Our Fire Appliances. Six,—I think that after the experience of the last few days our citizens will certainly come to the front and say what must be done to increase the efficiency of our fire depart- ment. Any person, with common sense, who was present at the two great fires with which we have just been visited, must have come to the conclusion th»t the means placed at the disposal of the firemen were totally inadequate to enable them to do any effizient work. While officers and men were willing and did work like slaves, they were brought to a stand eve y now and then with the cry of ‘“‘no water.” We must have more water for fire purposes. In the next place let us look at our engine power. We have two steamers and one hand engine, and with this power at their back the firemen are expected to protect the whole city. This is simply impossible; for have we | not seen over and over again that during a fire that last for any considerable time, one or other of our engines is most sure to break down, and as happened at our last fire, not only did the “Silsby” come to grief, but even the old ‘“l'remont’”’ went back on us for some considerable time; and after she was finally started at Dawson's tank, the well which was supplying the tank became dry, and here again we heard the old familiar cry of “‘no water.” We must not only have more water, bat we must have another steamer equally as good as the old English ‘‘Rollo.” We trust the citizens will take some de- faite action.

Dominion Political Notes. = i Ortawa, Feb. 21. 3.25. Mr. Robertson .ae House met at 3 (Hamilton) introduced the following bills : An Act to amend law of evidence in criminal cases, An Act to amend the criminal law, and to declara it a mis- demeanor to leave unguarded and exposed holes cut in the ice on any navigable water, An Act to amend the law with reference to the procedure in criminal cases, and the duties for.Justice of Peace out of sessions, in relation to persons charged with indic- ‘table offences. In answer to a question, Sir Charles Tupper said the Government Engineers had estimated the cost of construction of the Canada Pacitie Railway, from the sum- mit of the Rocky Mountains to Kamloops. He stated that the distance was 286 miles, the estimated cost $12,000,000, and the cost of the equipment for the line from the summit to Port Moody was $800,000. Also that the Government Engineer's estimate of the cost of the construction of the Canada Pacific Railway on the Lake Superior and Nipissing divisions was $16,200,000, cost of equipment $900,000, and distance 450 miles. This amount in- cluded the work already done. The esti- mated cost of the very heavy section of ninety miles on the Lake Superior and Nipissing divisions was $7,400,000, fore passing to the order of the day, Mr. Blake said he had annonnced to the House his intention to draw the attention of the members to the peculiar position of the High Commissioner. He had moved for certain papers, but some of those he had asked for had not been brought down, and without which he could not go on. The returns were promised at an early date. ae Tbe House adjourned at six o clock, Weather Bulletin. Probabilities for the newt 24 hours for the Maritime Provinces. Toronto, February 22--10 a. m.
