Rose looked at her, then 1 nodded comically to Paddy, shutting both iher eyes by way of a wimk, adding aloud, | • Throth you'll be the happy boy Paddy, an' 1woo betide yon if yon ar’nt the sweetest 1cud of a honeycomb to her. Take csro an’ i don't bring me upon you. Well Peggynever mind alnnna ; who has a better right < to bis joke than the desout boy that's— aiey cbildrc, saints above ; but ye'll smoth­er the child, so yon will—Where did I got him, Dinny ; sure I brought him ns a pres­ent to Mrs. Keho, after finding him undera head of cabbage. I never como but 1 bring a party littlo baby along wid mo—thou the d'neont boy dear, tkat’s soon to be your lovin’ husband; Arrab take your glass acnslila; the sorra harm it'il do you. ’ Be-dad I’m afraid Mrs. Moan. What if it ’nd get into my head, an' me's to eland for my little godson? No bad scran to me if Icould—fail, a glass ’ud be too many for mo? 4 It’s not more than half filled, dear,’ butthere’s sense in what the girl says Dandy, so don’t press it on her? In the brief space allotted to ns, we could not possibly giveany thing like a full and correct picture of the happiness and hilarity which prevailed at the breakfast in question. When it wasover they all prepared to go to the parish chapel, which was distant at least a couple of miles. The midwife stayed at home tosee that all the necessary preparations were made for dinner. As they wore de­parting. Rose took tho Dandy aside, .andaddressed him thus: 4 Now, Dandy, when you see tho priest, tell him that it is your wish above all1 things that be should christen it against the fairies.’ if yon say that’s enough. ‘And Peggy, acbora, como here, you're not car-i ryia’that child right alanaa,' but you’ll i know better yet plnise goodness. ‘NoI avaliah don't keep its little head so closelycovered with your cloth, tho day's a burn­ ing day. Glory bo to God and the Lord> guard my child, sure the least thing in the woild where there's too much bait 'ud smother my darliu*. Keep it's head out1 farther, and just shade its little face from tho sun. Och. will I ever forgot tho Sun­ day when poor Molly Wheetelian wint andto take Ned Fitzpatrick's child from under her cloak to be christened, tho poor infant was a corpse, and only tho Lord put itinto my bead to have it privately christen­ ed. The father and mother's heart would break. Gloy be to God 1 Mrs. Dnnn. ifthe child gets cress dear, or tniss any thing, not the mother by him, the little man—eh alanna, where was it ? Wlrere was my ducko' demonds—my little Con Roe ? My own sweety Little aco o’ hearts, eh, nlanna? Well, God keep it, till I soo it again toyjewel?(Well, tho child was baptized by the (name of his father, aud the persons assemb- ,led after their return from the cbapol ,lounged about Corny’s hou3e, or took little (strolls iu the neighborhood, uatil tho hour of dinner. Th's, of course, was much m ,ro | convival, and ton times mire veciferon.s,than the breakfast, cheertul as that meal j was. At dinner they had a superfluity ofevery dish that was brought to table. Butthere was one dish, which we believe is, like Boxty peculiarly Irish in its compc si­tion ; wo mean what is called ithilk. Thisconsists of potatoes and beans pounded up together in such a manner that the beansere not broken, and on this account are well champed before tho beans ore put in­ to them. This is dished in n large bowland a hole made in tho middle of it, into which a miscanu or roll of butter is thrust, and thou covered up,uatil it is melted.After this everyone takes a spoon and digs away with his utmost vigir, dipping everymorsel into the well of butter in the middle before he puts it into his month. Indeed, from the strong competition whichgoes forward, and the rapid motion of each right hand, no spectator could be mistaken in ascribing the motive of their proceed­ings to the principals of the old proverb— devil take tho hindmost. Slhilk differs from another dish made of potatoes inmuch the same way, called calcannon. If there were b^ans for instance incaZcannon,it would be Slhilk. This practice of manypersons eating out of the same dish, though Irish end not cleanlv, is of very old antiquity. Christ himself mentions itat His Last Sapper.

[ After dinner the whiskey began to go round, for in those days pnnch was a Inxnry almost unknown to the class we1 are writing of; but there was an ingredient’ very nearly akiu to it called icaihheen. or1 Irish broth, wliish was prepared in this way, and generally by some person in authority belonging to the company, such aa Rose You put down a certain compli­ment of water, according to the company present, and yon put iuto it a certainamount of careways and butter, add whenall are boiled togetber yon taka thorn <*ff tho fire and place the vessel on a slew fireon the hob, and then you put iuto thevessel half the compliment of whiskey that there is of water, cover the vessel with a lid and allow it to simmer for a fewmoments, then lake it np and servo round to tho company ; and we can asrure <\arreaders, a* Itoss would say, that you, hare a wholesome aud pleasing sup of liquor fit for any man, woman or child; good for a cold, congh or windy stomach. In fact,no one there knew hew to make it, but the midwife, who wisely kept the secret to drer self, aware if the whiskey wore presentedto tbeua in such a palatable shape theywonld not know when to stop, and she her­ self might foil short of the entry that isusually kept for a treat for those visit* which she ointiuueo to pay daring the eenraleKjDce of her patients.• Come.

Upon her return from Mbs.Echo, she whispers into Dandy’s earn, ‘She’s goin’ on nicely, thank God for all ,His mercies, and, Dandy, you must be more patient the next time and not be , givin’ ever to much frettin’, as I thold youbefore? And thon she speaks that all may hear hsr. ‘Yes, avick, when tims comes, child come!.'4 Well, bnt Rose, about the lady ofquality, will you tell ns that ?'4 Oh! many a thing liappened me aswell worth tollin' if ynu go to that; but I'll toll it to you, childre', for sure thocuriosity’s nathural to you. Why, I wasono night at homo an’ asleep, an' I hears a horse’s foot galloping for the bare life up totho door. I immediately put my head ont, an’ tho horseman says, 4Ars yon Mrs. Moan ?' ’ •That's the name that’s an' me, ysr honor,’says myself. 'Dress yourself thin,' says he, ‘for you're sadly wanted. Dress your­self and mount behind me, for there's nota moment to bo lost? At the same time I forgot to say that his hat was tied aboutbis face in such a way that I couldn’t catch a glimpse of it. Well, my dear, wo didn't let the grass grow under onr feet for abouta mile or so. ‘Now,’ says he, ‘you must allow yourself to be blind-folded, and it's nseless to oppose it, for it must be done.There’s the character, maybe the life of agpat lady is at otake ; so be quiet till I cover your eyes, or,' says he, settin' out agreat oath, ‘it'll be worse for you. I am adesperate man,’ an' sure enough I could feel the heart of him boatin’ his ribs, as ff it would buret in pieces. Well, my dears,what could I do in the hands of a man that was strong and desperate. ‘So,’ says I, ‘cover my eyes an welcome, only for thelady’s sake raako no delay? With this he dashed bis spurs into the poor horse, an' be foamed and smoked like a lime-kil' already.Any way in about half an hour I found ' myself in a grand bed-room, an’ jist os I was put into the door, he whispers ma to’ bring the child to him in the next room as soon as it would be born. Well,' sure I did so, afthnr lavin' the mother io [ n fair wiy. But what'would yon have of ' it—tho first thing I see lyin’ on the table1 was a purse of money an’ a case o’ pistols. ' When I looked at him I tiioujlit tho devil1 —Lord guard us—was in his fuco he look- r ed so black and terrible about the brows. ‘Now, my good woman,’ says ho, ‘so for you've acted well, but there's miro to baj done yet. Take your choice of theso two?* says he, ‘this purse or tho contints o’ ono o' , those pistols as your reward. You must tmnrdlier the child on tho spot.’ 4In thename of God an'his mother, ba yon man , or devil. I defy yon,’ says I. ‘No innocent ] blood ’ll over be shed by these hands? |’I'll givo you ten minute*,' says be, ‘to putan end to that brat there,' anil wid that he 1 cocked one o’tho pistols. Myd«ars, I bad jnothin' lor it bnt to say to myself a pat'aer :an’ nve as fast as I could, for I thought it iwas all over wid me. However, glory boto God, the prayers gave mo great stringth intirely, an’ I spoko stonily, ‘Whin the j king o’ Jeruselnm,’ says I—au’ he was a , greater man than ever you'll be—‘whin theking of Jeruselum ordbered the midwives o' Aigypt to put Moses to death, theywouldn't do it, and God preserved them, 1 king iho' he was,’ says I, ‘an' from that day to this it was never known that a mid­wife took away the life siio aided into tbs , world. No, an’ I’m not going to bo tho first that’ll do it’ ‘The time is out,’ sayshe, pnttin’ tho pistol to my ear, ‘but I'll give you one minute mere? ‘Let me go to my knees first,’ says I, ‘an’ now may Godbavo mercy upon my sawl, for bad as I am I'm willin’ to die first than commitmurdher upon the innocent? Hi gave astart as I spoke an' throw the pistol down, 'aye,' said he, ‘an innocent—an innocent—that is three ; but you are an 'traordinary woman, yoa have ssved that child's life, nnd prevented rue from committing twogreat crimes, for it was my intention to murdher you after you murdherod the child? I thin by his ordhers brought thepoor child back to its mother, and whin I camo back to th* room, 'Tak* that puree,’says he, 'an' keep it as your reward foryour honesty? ‘Wid the help o’ God,' says I, ‘a penny of it will never come into mv company, so it’s no use to ax me?'Well,' says he, ‘afore you lave thi«, you mnst swear not to mintion to a livin’ scwl what has happened this flight for a yearand a dny.* * It didn’t signify to mo whether I mintioned it or not, so bein’jist indifferent about it, I took the oath, nnd kept it. He thin bound my eyes agin, hoisted mo up behind him, and iu a shorttime left ma at home. ludeed I wasn't tlie better o' the start it took out o’ me for as good as six weeks after? The company now began to grow musi­cal. Several songs were sung, and when I ' tho evening got further advanced, a neigh- (boring fiddler was sent for and the li’.ll* party had n dauoa in tbs barn.to which I’.isy adjourned least the noise might d.istnrbMrs. Keho, had they held it in the .'tweHing house.

Many were the jokes which passed botwecn the youngstersou this occasion—jokes which have beenregistered by sneu personages ns Rose, almost in every family in tho kingdom forcenturies, nnd with which most of the Irishpeople are too intimately and thoroughly acquainted to render it necessary for us to repeat them here.Rose bow addressed herself to the task of preparing breakfast, which in honour of the happy event’, wa* nothing less than“ try white bread and Boxty," with a glass of ponteen to sharpen the appetite. As Boxty however is a description of broadnot generally known to our readers, w# shall give them a sketch of how this Irish luxury is made. A basket of the best po­tatoes is got, which are washed and peeled raw; then is procured a tin grater, ouwhich they are grated ; the water is thenshired off them, and the macerated mass is put into a clean sheet, or table-cloth, or bolster cover. This is caught at each endby two until the contortions drive up the substance into tho middle of the sheet et«„this of course expels the water also; butleast tho twisting should be insufficient for that purpose,it is placed like a cheese cake,under a heavy weight until it is properly dried. They then kneed it iuto cakes, aud , bake it on a pan or griddle; and when eatenwith butter, we can assure our readers it is , quite delicious. Tho hour was about nihe o’clock and tho company asked to the chris­tening began to assemble. The gossips or sponsors were four in number, two of them , wealthy friends of the family that had never, been married, and the two others a simple I country pair, who were anxious to followin the matrimonial steps of Corny and his, wife. Tho rest were as usual, neighbors, . relatives, and ‘ cleaveen*,' to the number of sixteen or eighteen persons,men, woman* and children, all dressed in their best ap- ) parel.and disposed to mirth and friendship. Along with th# rest was Bob McCann, tlie ,fool, who by the way could sm-H ont a f* good dinner with as keen a nostril as the (wisest man in th# parish coaid boast of,andwho on such occasions carried turf and (water in quantities that indicated the sup- |ernatural strength of a Scotch brownie (rather than that of a hnmitn being, Bob'# , qualities however, were well proportioned to each other, tor trnth to say, his appetite ,was equal to his strength, and bis cunning (to either. ,Corny aud Mrs. Mean were hi# great ,spirits and indeed wo might predicate a# . much of all wno were present. Not a soul (tutored the bouse who was not brought up by Coray to an out shot room, ae a priv­ ate mark of hi» friendship, and treated toan underhand glass of as good pottan 4 as ever went down the red lant,' to uae a phrase common among the people. Noth­ing upon en occasion naturally pleasantgives conversation a more cheerful impulsethan this and the coosequenoe wM, that ina short time the ecans was animated and mirthful to au unusual degree.Breakfast at length commenced In due form. Tap bottles of whiskey were placedupon thWtable, sad the first thing dona was to athninistef a glass to each guest. •Come neighbor*,’said Corner,4 we mustdbrink the good woman’s health before we ate.especially as it’s the firat time any how? • To be stir* they will acbora, an’ whynot?

In nytny instances it is known 1 that tho very presence of a medical attend­ant communicates such n cheerful confi- 1 denco to his patient as independently of 1 any prescription is frit to bo manifest re- Jlief. So it is with the midwife, with this Jdifference, that she exercises a greater and ' more comical latitude of consoh-.tinn than. 1 the doctor, although it must bo admitted < that tho one generally fulls woefully short ' of that conventional dress with which we Icover nudity of expression. No doubt 1 many of her very choicest stock of jokes, 1 to carry on tho matnnhor, arc a little toofmhionably dressed to pass current out of 1 the sphtre in which they are used ; but bo 1 tliis as it may, they are to traditional iucharacter, nnd so humorous in conception, ; that we never knew tho veriest prude to feel offended or the mnrosest teniperaincrtto maintain its sourness at their recital, i Not that she ia at all gross or unwomanly in-anj- thing’shc may suy, bnt there is gen­erally in her npothcgms’a passing touch of fancy—a quick but terse viva«ity andinsinuation, at once no full of fnn andsprightliness, and that trnth which all know, bnt fow like to acknowledge, that we defy any ono not irretrievably gone insome incurable melancholy to resist her humor. Tho moment sho was seen ap­proaching the li'-nbo every one in it felt an immediate elevation of spirits, with tho ex­ ception of Mrs. •Keho herself, who knowthat whenever Rose bad tho arrangement of the Lili of faro there >vas sure to bo what tho Irish call fraghooletlnctt, ‘full an'plenty,' ‘ lasbins au’ Iovine '—a fact which made her groan in spirit at tho bare con­ templation of such waste and extravagance.She was indeed a woman of a very un­ Irish heart—so sharp iu her temper and so penurious in soul, that one would imagineher veins were filled with vinegar instead of blood.4 Banngh Dheah in Shah' (the blessingof God bo hero) Rose exclaimed on en­ tering. • Bonngh Dhesh agues Mum ghnid ’(the bletBing of God and the Virgin on yon) replied Corny, ‘An’ you’ro welcome, Ragur.'■ I know that Corny. Well, how are ye ? How is my son ?' ‘Bogarra, tbrivin’ like * pair of troopers.’- ' Tiiank God for that? H.tv’irt wo a good right to bo grateful to him auy way ? ‘ An’ is my little man to bo christenedto-day ?’ ' Indeed bo is,’ the gossips will bo here presently, an' so will Lis mother.

British Parliawent for the cure of haL'iinnl dmnkeniteas r— It gives to local '•.uth^rilies power to license retreat* fo$ habitual drunkards, in which di^^on^aDtaes may be forcibly retained.

He must even fix for himself the term of his punishment. In fact, he must uso bis liberty in order to re­ sign it. But once in, be is caged until his lime is up, as effectually as if he had been sentenced to jail by a magistrate. When the fit of repentant*© passes off, and the old thirst revives, he will desire to leave again. But then he will be told that stone walls do make a.pri3on. And there is no doubt thst even so fo'/ole a law will be useful. When mo? nra recovering from their drunken par­ oxysms, before the madness of their thirst cjmea upon them, they will hold liberty to drink very little by the side of thrf hope of curing their thirsty insanity. But the law will not havo done oil it can until it pro­ vides retreats to which magistrates can send drunkard* who now escape with the pay­ ment of five shillings.

Although, these meetings had a like influence in the east as they had exerted in the west, it was found almost impossible, owing to the great distance which separated the two places, to bring any great nnm- l»er of persons from the difleteni sections tn attend tho same convention, and so, in the session of 1876-7, an Act of Par liatnmit was passed, dividing the Pro- vrice into Eastern and Western section? nnd incoqtoratiugan association for er.cli, t<» be known as the “ Dairymen's Azso- elation of Eastern Ontario" mid tho •• D liryinon’a Association of Western Ontario,” Belleville Ixdng tho place des­ ignated for holding the first meeting of the former association and Ingersoll for th© latter. An annual appropriation was algo made to each. This arrnnge- men*' was found to work admirably, and tho greatest possible amount of good has Keen found to result to this important Branch of industry by its judicious adop­ tion. Too much credit cannot be given to thpse enterprising and self-sacrificing men who, in the infancy of tho cheese trade iu Canada did so much to foster and develop it Many of them were not d rrctly interested in tho cheese trade, but foreseeing that great nr-tioRal bene­ fits would result from the establishment of the dairy, on a sound commercial basis in the country, they put their shoulders to the wheel and helped on the work. They have now the gratification of know ing that their efforts have been crowned with success, and seeing that where the dairy business has been introduced nnd carried on successfully, farms have been • ’ made to produce from fifty per cent, to d rable the amount of returns to thosa engaged in ugri:ulturnl pursuits in the old days when grain was nearly the <n'y commercial and marketable product raised by t the Canadian farmer. The rapid rise, prosperity, and widespread diversity of tho Canadian dairying busi- | nr-ss, is a marked peculiarity of this in­ dustry. In the short period of from twelve to fourteen years it hns^grown into such proportions ns to make cheese one of the principal articles of export and commerce of tl <? country, bringing into the Province nnHions of dollars of wealth that otherwise would not find its way here. The men pugnged in Miis business have shown the!*' wisdom in associating themselves togetherand hold­ ing these conventions, and everyone who . Laa made the matter a subject of thought iniibt be convinced that these convcntkns | * _ iru,UCM pu,iuau and .the sound, practical and theoretical . u^u’w**.

At 12 o’clook the corridors leading to tbo Senate Chamber were completely filled by an anxious crowd, determined io, be witnesses of the impressive ceremony. So dense was tho throng that it was impossible for any ono wishing to go to any other part of the building to pass through. Shortly after one o'clock tho doors were opened, and then came the rush, of conrse. The galleries of the Senate Chamber were al­ most immediately filled. It wa* first come first served so tar as the tickets went, and as there were far more distributed than there should have been, the accommoda­ tion was of the most uncomfortable. Hie Excellency was to open the House at 8 o'clock. At half-past one the main hall of the building was simply impassable. The corridor was crowded to its utmost ca­ pacity. The people were surging back­ wards and forward*, shouting, pulling, hauling and atriving to force their way to the galleries. The police had actually to uso their club* to keep the noisy crowd back. I managed to obtain a footing with­ in tho sacred precincts of the Senate cor­ ridors. Even *nt this early hour ladies in -full dress wore pouring iu, aud tho galleries so soon as opened were filled to overflow­ ing. So great was lhe crush in that part of the chamber that several ladies fainted. Mr. "Wilmot, tbo Speaker, stated that, notwithstanding the care which bad been taken, so great was lhe demand for tickets llwt he thought double n* many had bceu issued as tho chamber would buld. Il is asserted by those who havo attend­ ed all the openings since Confederation that never before were there so many t distinguished people gathered together ® in Ottawa, and ucver before wo* there cso great a crowd in or about tho Parlia- t . meat House. t i By half-part two the floor of the House ’ was crowded. Tho seats on tho sides were j set apart for the Indies. Of them there ( , were four row* rising above each other, as < - in an amphitheatre. The centra of the I room, or the floor proper, was kept for the ( officers of the House, who occupied their , seats al tbo table, all in full dress, aud the privileged classes,such as tbo Judges of the Supreme Court, the County Judges, the sheriff nnd the clergy of all denomination?. By this lime all bnt the Viceregal party and tbo Commons bad entetcred, and a buzz, of nnimnlion from at least 8,000 peo­ ple fell on the ear. Soon tho door* in the rear were thrown open, the Speaker of the Senate rose and calhd order, and in an in* slant tho immense collection of people were silent.

It is hoped that ithe dises** will bo extinguished in the I United States, and tho neaeacity for contin- iuing tberirohibition removed. Your alien- t lion win be invited to an amendment of tho |Act I have just referred to. | My Government has commenced nego- ,liations, with Her Majesty’* sanction, for ithe develppement of the trade of Canada i with France and Spnic, and wilh the re­spective colonics. I hope to bo able to lay before you the result of these negotiationsduring the present sead-m. It in the purpose of my Government tn press forth a most vigorous prosecution ofthe Canada Pacific Railway, and to meet the reasonable expectations of British Col­umbia. In carrying out line intentien.dae regard must bo had to the financial position of the country.Commantcatiou by rail has been effected between Manitoba and the United Statessystem of railways, by the jnnctioa at St. Vincent of the Pembina Brancu of eur rail­ way with the St. Paul aud Pacific Railway.That portion of tbo main Uno which ex­ tends from English River to Keewatin, isnow being placed under contract, nnd will energetically be pushed to completion, in order to Meuro as rabidly os possible theconnection between Lake Superior and the great North-west. A Bill for the amendment and consolida­tion of the Acta relating to stamp* shall be submitted for yonr attention, as well as amonsnre amending tho Act relating toweight* and measures. The decennial census must be taken in1881. I think it expedient that a measure for the purpose should bo passed during lhe present session, in order te give ampletime for the preparation of all the prelimi­ nary arrangements, and to ensure the census being taken as accurately and ine’x-pensively a* possible. In connection with this subject it may be well to consider thopropriety of providing some means for thecollection aud collation of vital, criminal and general statistics. A Bill will bo laid before you for tho re.arrangement of some of the Departments of tho Government, and also measures re­ lating to the snrvey and managemnnt ofi the Dominion lands, the Mounted Police, (aud to lhe Post Office Department, and also for tbo amendmeal in some particu­lars of the laws relating to the Indians. A measure will also be submitted to ypu ,i for vesting in Her Mnjeaty, for the uso of j , the Dominion, certain Ordnance and Ad- , miralty lands in tho Provinces of Nova j ’ Scotia aud Now Brunswick. t Gentlemen ot the Hou»e ot Common*: - * The estimate* for the ensuing year will j I be IniJ before you at an early day. They ; have boon prepared with as much regardto economy as is compatible with tho effi­ ciency of the public service. (I regret that the receipts in tho Trea­sury. from ordinary sources, continue to be inadequate to raeet the charges against tha consolidated revenue. Yon will agreo withme in-the oninion that it is not desirable that our finances should remain in this condition. By tho application of thestrictest economy to tho public expenditure, and by the readjustment of the tariff with the view of increasing the rovenne, and atthe same lime of developing nnd encourag­ing the various industries of Canada, yon will. I trust, bo enabled to restore the equi­librium between the revenue and expendi­ ture. and to aid in removing tbo commer­ cial and financial depression which uuhap-pilv continues to exist. I have directed that the nublic accounts of the past financial year shall bo laid be­ fore you. linn.

Monday, Feb. 17, 1879. The speaker took the chair at threeo’clock. After prayer* and routine, the presenta­ tion of several petitions and several ques­tions being asked by Mr. Mackenzie which were duly answered, the next business taken np wa* the moving of lhe address.Mr. Brecken of Queen's, Prince Edward Island, in a very able speech moved theadoption ot the addrev*. Mr. Tasse (Ottawa) seconded the address in a lengthy speech delivered in French. Mr. Mackenzie congratulated the moverand seconder of the address on the very creditable speeches tuey had delivered. The address itself eontaired very little toinvite comment, and be would therefore enter into no controversy concerning any matter* which would be made the subjectof legislation. After a short sldresa from which all the old fire characteristic of the late Premier appeared to have vanished beclosed ol'si'Ctenzing the speech from the throne a* a T«iy meagre bill of fare with the annonncomu.'ii *bat the member* on his side of the Houk.' ''oold offer no faction*opposition, and wouij C*»i«t in carry­ ing out all measure* whicu th-* considered would benefit the country. Sir John Maolonald was received withcheer*. Ho said he would not object to the tone sdopted by the hon. gentleman on the other side of the House, and bo con­gratulated him on tha position be Ladtaken. He was highly plrased at the change, fur th* gentleman who precededhim bad proclaimed only a slu-rl ago that be would do all in ide power to/make the gentlemeo'on bis (Sir John'*) side ofthe Hone* uncomfortable. He bad not saoceoded yet in making any one feel at all uncomfortable. He joined in congrauila.ling lb* mover and uccondar of the address on the ability they had displayed. Iu re­ference to the part he bimselt bad taken it*framing of that treaty, ho said it bad been passed by tha Parliament of Canada, audby a largo majority—wixty-six, bo thought —he also reminded the nona* that amongthat majority were many who Lad beenmembera and support era of the late Cabi­ net of the Dominion. (Cbeeva.) The latePremier bod boon accnetomed when in Opposition to express bi* loalhiug to th* very idea of taking money for Canada'*territorial rights and interest* ; but when be attained power he bad taken every bap*, however, the gentlemen opposite 1thought they and the people were synony- mou*. Perhaps they fait like the persons jcomposing the celebrated meeting wbieb Canning bad described so admirably, at which the speakers alluded to lbam*elvfS■a “ We, the people of England.” (Laugb- ’ ter.) In reference to lhe statement thatth* present Government ware taking the sama line as the previous Government en the Pacific Railway, he bad only to saythat as both ends were bqjlt there was no choice but to go on with the middle portionin order to gel it finished. One end wasiu a swamp and the other in a wilderness,and there wa* a middle piece of 185 mile*,and until this middle portion wa* finished there would be no satisfactory connectionwith the great Northwest. Reference had been made to satisfying the reasonable de­ mands of British Columbia. Tho lateGovernment had never tried to satisfy any demands of British Colombia, reasonableor unreasonable. (Hear, bear, from De­ Cosmos.) The present administration were determined to give due attention to thereasonable demands of tbs Pacific Pro­ vince. Some time ago certain Reformjournal* bad stated that he bad been elect­ ed fcr Victoria in consideration of having made certain pledges. The facte were thatbe bad wired two or three friends iu British Columbia, saying that he had beendefeated in Kingston, and asking ttam toelect him there. Tha answer came prompt­ ly, •• It shall be done,” and it was done.(Cheers.) With regard to the census, he explained that lhe action was taken thus early in order to save expense by gettingthe power to go on. Certain necessary preparations could be made and n great saving effected. Alluding to the subjectof immigration, he said it was a remark­ able fact that while the late Government bad discouraged immigration, the expenses’ of the Department had increased very cun- ' siderably. The bon. leader of tho Opposi­ tion bad said ho did not believe a Govern-' ment eonld bring prosperity. The people bad decided at the late elections, however,1 that a change of Government might have1 that effect, and they had brought about a ' very decided change. (Applause.) In an-1 ewer to the remarks credited to him ou a certain occasion in Ottawa, ho said that * what he really did state wa* that at soon* as there was a change of Government. ' there would be a renewal of confidence. ‘ and there was each a renewal. The Gov- * ernment bad good intentions, and these in­tentions would be carried out. The men who did not carry out their intentions and promises to the people were demagogues■nd unworthy, ot .confidence. Mr. Mac­ kenzie bad said the Address was a very meagre bill of fare. He (Sir John) thoughtit was a very fair bill. He was inclined tothink it was a little too strong for the digestion ot tligjhonorsblo gentlemen op­posite, but there would bo milk for the babies on the other side, aud there would he mast for the strong men on his (SirJohn's) side. (Great laughter and cheers.) There being no other speakers the ad­ dress was adopted without a division. IHGKBSOLLCAWAL The Grand International Burles­ que of the Season.

Wo worn nil sitting out oa tho pinzzin infront of Blyler's store, nn<l Abner Byiug was there, with Lis Ings evoked up au’ninst a post and his chair tilted back. Dr. Mur­ray was running hia eye down a columnof tho country paper, when ho auddonly ■aid :•• Hnllon ! Thin is queer! Why. it ■aye that an English ohetoid h-m succeeded in distilling whiskey from sawdust!” •• That's nothing,” said Abner Dying,flipping his thumb. •• How do yon mean noth ing ?" asked th© Doctor.“ Ob, it’s obi, awful obi. I knew that years ngo. Did you ever meet Sum Sny­ der f*“ No, never tuet him. " Well, Sain was a hard drinker—musthave rum by ooo means or another. He bad no money and n«bo<iy to trust him or treat him. So Sara somehow ascertainedthat whiskey could be tn ide out of saw­ dust. and do you know what he'd do ?" •• What ?'•He'd get so drunk off a fence-rail and a cross-cut saw that he couldn’t tell a cow from a anger-cured bain. Put him nearto a woodpile and a aawbuck, nnd let him alone, and before 11 o'clock he'd turn out the most delicious mint juleps you ever tasted.” f 4Easily .lone, was it ?” “ Easily ? Why, one time liis familytried to keep him sober by putting him outon the roef and keeping him there ; and do you know what Sam did ? Got a boy to tie a waahboiler and four feet of leadpipe to a strinc, and Sam fished ’em up. and in three days he had turned everyshingle into cocktails, and he tell thronghipto tVe garret in such a frigbtfnl condi­ tion of intoxication that they bad to givehim electric shocks fnin a forty-two-collbattery, to bring him back to conscious­ ness." •• You know this to be a fact, do yon ?”•‘Certainly; I was there. Why, that man acquired a preference for liquor madefrom wood, and three times, to tny cer­ tain knowledge, he got mania a potu from consumption of distilled pie-boards andpotato-mashers. He drank up fonr setsof chair-legs ; and, one fonrth of July.when his wife stopped his destruction of the furniture, he colobrated th© day by callingin three or four friends to drink a new kind of energetic brandy that he’d just made outof a window-sill and aclothes-prop. Drink! Why, sir. I pledge yon my word, Snyder ' in a single winter, drank up a snoke- ' bouse, three wash-tubs and a front door.' Nothing would stop him when he got goint?.”“ Wliy did be prefer domestic nlensils ?“ He didn’t. There was a wood out book of hia bouse that belonged to hi* sunt. Sam’d go r.ut there with a meat saw, orany kind of a saw he could get, aud in two year* he had stimulated bis system with eight chestnut trees, four* persimmon*, onen*k' and fifteen saplings of various kind*.

Last Monday evening the spectators in our mammoth covered skating Bink Wit­ nessed tho grandest affair of the kind that has ever taken place in Ingersoll, or per­ haps in any part of Ontario. The large sheet of ice, which was all that sonld be desired, was literally covered with scores of skaters in costumes and masks, the former being “ too numerous to mention.” Judging from the motley crowd that con­ tinually passed to and fro before the spec­ tators' eyes, it was an international assem­ bly, nearly every nation of the earth being represented, the plenipotentiaries from all climes using their bert endeavor* to fur­ ther the interests of their respective countries, a task which they performed iu an eminently successful manner, the Irish­ man and the African apparently having the . monopoly, especially tho latter, the ice being fairly black with the “ sun browned son of the south.” Then there were kiags, queens, princes, princesses, dukes, earls, courtiers, officers, sailors, devils, oh! men, young mon, fut people, lean people, wealthy men, poor men, sprites, ladies, soldiers, clowns, knights aud ladies, peasant girls, topsies, monks, nuns, fairies, goddesses nod numerous other female characters, and even gentlemen, mingled together irrespective of creed. A corres­ pondent writing to tbo Free Prett says “ I thought, when looking at luem gaily flying—save the old and fat ones—in alldirections, and el all rates of speed, thesuperb mnsic of lhe Mulligan Band mean­ while playing, bow happy those high-bornladies and gents, kings, queens, dukes, Ac.,appeared to l>e, aud what a pity they could not always fill the positions they were act­ ing to-night.

The equally renowned Nubian Troubadours of London were also present, about 25 in number. A platform was erected for them al the eastern end of tho rink, to which a large audience was attracted by tho comic and varied songs of lhe company, inter­ spersed with excellent music. The Wan­ dering Minstrels and Musical Mokes from town were in full force, nnd added to the general confusion. “ My Grandfather's Clock,” from Woodstock, after skating a few rounds, ‘‘ stopped short,” and doubt­ less would never have gone again bad it not been for the generous aid of some of the by-standors. Altogether lhe success of th* Carnival was complete, and the managers are happy, a feeling which was characteristic of all present.

Til- sonburgers, look out for that young man, he probably has lost his '* character,” or else he had none to lose. aw The average small boy’s ambition is to be a trapper, a pirate or a song and dance man. "When I wath a little boy," lisped a very stupid society man to a young lady, "all my ideath in life were tbentered on being a clown." "Well, there is at least one case of gratified ambition," was tho sharp reply. asr In an interview with a New York Tribune reporter a tiro marshal stated that incendiarism was a trade carried on for gain and seldom for the mere sake of venturing malice. Owners who wish to cealixe their in­ surants pay a professional from $25 to $50 and the proposed fire becomes a reality in a short time. This affords a pleasant subject for re- flection to the property holders of a town with no means of fire protection. gr An editor’s life is full of sunny spots— sunny as the south side of a strawstack in May—and one of them is when, in the grati­ tude of his hearc,he stands treat to a man who praised his paper, announced himicIT a sup­ porter and constant reader of it and promised to advise all his friends to support it in Hie same way, only to discover the enthusiastic man's support consists in regularly borrowing the paper from a friend. •r The annual meeting of the teachers of Knox Church Sunday School and others ini tereated was held at the residence of the pastor, R. N, Grant, on Friday evening fat. After an hour spent in pleasant intercourse, and in partaking of an inviting repast provided by Mrs. Grant, they proceeded to enact im­ portant bnsAuess in connection with the achoel. Mr. W. J. Howitt was appointed superinten­ dent in room of Mr. Pyper, resigned, and a number of new teachers added, which now makea about twenty-five in all.

The present winter has been a very steady one, and never in thehistory of the past five years has tbr re been so many deaths from lung diseases as ibis one,while .nearly .every one in the com­munity has suffered more or less from se- vere.coltls, which at times would almost seem to have taken the shape of an epi­demic.

Jarrett A Pamer for a sifatation in any department whsrsbyho might go on the then proposed tour. Ho said that he needed no salary, was a will, ing worker, a good mechanic, and abun­dantly able to pay bis own railroad fares and hotel bills. His object wm to thorough­ly learn the stage business and to eventual­ ly secure a speaking part whereby be might advance in lhe profession. His so­licitations were so persistent and his man­ ner so persuasive that permission wm granted him to act as an assistant in thecarpentering department. He proved to bo all be had claimed, was steady and use­ ful, and so skilful that when the mastercarpenter was obliged by cickness to re­ tire, tbe new-comer w m promoted to the vacant place. He was a universal favou­rite with tbe company attracted tbe atten­ tion of Miss Ward and Mr. Lovick by valuable suggestions as to stago effects.andeven discussed Shakespeare with them in a manner which showed his thorough ac­ quaintance with the works of tho great-poet.

The woistciso of inflamed wounds may ba cured by­smoking the injured part with burning woolor woollen cloth. Anything that producessafety from such a fatal disease is worth re­ cording. Almond Water.-Blanch fire ounces of■west and two of bitter almonds, pound themin a morter, adding a few drop* of waler oc-casionslly, t» prevent their besoming oily ;set a pint of synm to boil, and throw in themashed almonds'; boil altogether a minute, then set it at the corner to simmer foraquarter of an hoar ; it is then ready to passtl ringh a’flne sieve for use. When required,add any qnartity of cold water, according totaste or dirictiou to maLe it palatable.

T > Beat Eggs.—For beating eggs, have a broad shallow earthen pan. If beaten in tin,the coldness of the metal retards their light-nt a*-, for the same reason, hickory rods are belter than tin wire. Beat with a short, quickstroke, holding the cgi rods in your righthand close to your sides,and drdnot exert yourelbow ; or use your arm violently with ahard, sweeping stroke ; of this there is nonecessity. If beaten in a proper manner(moving your hand only at the wrist), the eggs will be light long before yon are fatigued. Butyou must continue beating till after the frothhu subsided, and the pan of eggs presents a suooth, thick surface, a nice boded cos­ta til White of egg is done if it stands stillalone, and will not fall from the beater when held upon it. Honsekjeping.—Soaking salt fish in sourmilk will freshen them speedily.

Care of Poultry in Winter. Farmers often complain that poultry are nothing but a bill of expense in the winter.As managed by some fanners make their hensroost on trees, it must be confessed that hens make little return, but this is not the fault of<he hens but of the owner of the flock. If aman want* eggs, he must get a good breed, give them comfortable quarters and suitablefood. Hens are ccg-making machines, andthey will turn out just as many eggs in winteras in summer, if they have proper care. Eggs are worth twice as much in winter a* in sum­mer, so it is worth while to take some painsto have the production as great as possible. Some persons feed their poulty pretty well,bnt they give them no egg-shell material, Tofurnish the raw material for manufacturing, egg shell, I have never found anything bet­ter than bones and clam or oyster shellnonnded fine. Hens shonld hare a mixed food—corn, oats, wheat, rye, buckwheat, <tc.' Thick sour milk with wheat bran or boiledpotatoes, fed warm, makes an excellent food on winter mornings, for laying hens. Six oreifcht years ago I kept Brahmas, Cochins,Hamburg*, etc. One day my father said. “Why don’t you get the White-CrestedBlack Polish fowls ’ They were the best 1ever had.” I taught a trin paying $12 forthem. Now, I have found out that they have more good pointe than any other breedI ever hail. In the year 1877, I had twenty- five hens and they laid 4,575 eggs —381 dozen,or 183 eggs |>cr hen. In the year 1878 I hadtwenty-five head again, and they Hid 4,250eggs—354 dozen, or 170 egg* )>cr lien or nu’- let. In the year 1373 I hail more pulletsthan in 1877.

Echo Farm is about one mile eastward ofLitchfield, Conn., and is nearly 1,300 feetatave the sea-level. Mr. Starr, the owner,having impaired his health by too close con­ finement to business, was attracted to thespot in 1869, merely with a view of securinga summer residence, and without the remo­test idea of ever engabging in farming orstock-raisin;. It is hardly to 'bo supposedthat an active buisness man, having both capi­ tal and enthusiasm to apply to farming couldfind employment for bis faculties on a grassfarm of sixty-six acres. Therefore adjoining properties were puchszed and added to thefarm, so that now “ Echo Farm ” containsI early four hundred acres. He has a herd of most ext* lent cowx.^a is shown by their product on of milk an I butter, by their progeny,especially thee* which have come to milk, andby the animals themselves. The cows are turned out for an hour or more every day.Tl ey get this cyercisc and fresh air regularly,e- en in the coldest .weather, except duringriver* storm*. An abundance of pnre air is j icvided in e very department in. which livePeek is kept. The system of feeding fol-1> we<l is very simple. Mixed bran and mealwe fed upon cut iced twice a day. One goodmeal of roots is given by thenwlvei. Man-;old* and sugar taiti are the only roots used,nnd the cows have beside all the dry hay will < at. Everything is of the sweetest and purestcharacter—the hay fragrant ; the few corn­ stalk* used thoroughly cured and free from.-nstine** ; the meat oom and eats andb an of the best quality. Thus nothing cm be«aten by the cows in the stable which can af­ fect the milk unfavorably, and everything con­tributes to its high flavor snd excellence. Itis an inflexible rule that all the animals shall 1 e treated kindly and gently. No shouting,I sllooing or alarming demnnstrations aremade ;h«nre they grow up docile and gentle.AB the animals are kept clean ; the cowsbivrhrd or rsn'ed daily ; their stall* not only «leaned o*t, but swept out and sanded. Thetimpcrater* of the stables is regulated, andthermometer* are bung where they may be conveniently inspected.At milking time visiter* are excluded andthe milkers have the fleor to themselves.The milk of each cow is weighed a* <<*» »e it i* drawn, th* weight set down by-each milkerrpon hi* ow* slate, and when be ba* done the ‘’ata ia delivered to the dairy maid.

It humbles him. teaches him pntienco and reverence, nnd restores tlio proper tone to the system.Cling to the farm, make much of it, put yourself into it, bestow your heart nndbrain upon it, so that it shall savor of you and radiate your virtu* after your day’s work is done. — John Burrought inScribner.

ROW LADIES IMPERIL THEMSELVES DY A IIAD1T OF DAC'KING. A physician writing to tho Chicago Tri­ bune says : 1 feel it my duty to take 'ad­ vantage of your report of tho unfortunate accident e>f Mrs. William Turner, to callthe attention of the public, and especially ladies, to a strange and peculiar feminine habit, fraught with great danger. In yourreport of tho accident you say, ‘the womanbacked np a few steps,* In this simple statement lies the key to nearly every ac­cident happening to women on the streets of a city. Mv vocation has given unusual opportunities to observe tho strange habitof womanhood. Thousands of times have I observed (Lit action—this * stepping back a few steps '—and m^ny times Lave I shud­dered at the narrow escepes of ladies cros-1 sing tho streets before mv Lorse. I have tried again and again to solve tho problemof this strange action on the part “of wo­ men. It is indeed, a phjcliological study well worthy the attention of any scientist. Lot me explain this habit more explicitly :A lady starts to cross the street, when sno gets one third or half way over she secs ateam approaching ; (be driver in nearlyevery instance watches her movements, and seeks to drive in behind her. If she kept on hor way, all is well. If she onlystands still she is perfectly safe. But hero co nes in the strange and fatal idiesyn-cracy of hor sox. Just as tho driver tbiuks ho can safely drive behind her, she stops, * starts back a few steps,’ and, unless thodriver is prompt, and draws his horse back on his haunches the woman is under his feet or knocked down. Then, comes thohue and cry that the driver ris to blame. How can bo help it? All teams cannot bo driven on a walk and do tho bnsiness ofa great city. 1 have asked many of tho policeman who guard the cro«sin*ga nt the intersections of Randolph nnd Clark, Statenod M-.ulisou, nnd other piners, and tbej nil testify to this universal habit in ladies. * They nil do it,'«aid one of them to me,* aud I have all I can do to keep them from backing under the horses’ feet.’ If your reporter will question a tbousnud menwho drive actively through our streets. th»y will all confirm my assertions. • I write this in all kmdness and sympathy,nnd would scriondy call tlio nttention of the women of Chicago to tho great* risksthey run by a blind and thoughtless adher-nnco to tbir instinctive habit. I hope they will allow mo to suggest one invariablerule of conduct when crossing tho street, namely : (1) Stand perfectly still when you nee a team coming until it has passedyon, for no ono will drive against yon; or (2) Never start bsck and attempt to re­ turn to the nide of the streit yon startedfrom when yon see a team approaching, but keep right on, in which case the driverwill always drive behind you. If teams are approaching you in tho opposite direc­ tions, and you axe near the middle of Abe street, eland still until they both hare pass-cd. A conformity to these simple-rules will ensure perfect safety to hdiea on all occasions, except in those very rare coses ofunmanageable horses or drunken drivers.In couclnsion, allow me to add the equally strange fact that in all my experience Inever saw a mon make this retrograde movement to avoid being run over. They instinctively obef tho rules above laiddown. A Slow Train—*The Hon. G. T—-— tell* a good story nf a slow railroad in the northern part of the State. Ho says he went there gunning, and cam* to a shortline of road on which was run a single car, the forward end of* Which was partitionedoff for baggage. Ho took his dog in the car with him end put him under the seat. Presently the conductor camo along, andinsisted that tho dog should go into the baggsge-rooni, which, after some alterca­tion, was done; but here tha baggage-mas­ ter demanded a fco of fifty cents, which was denounced as a swindle, n nut-np job,between tho conductor aud tho" baggage­ master,and that sooner than pay it he would tic the dog to tho train aud let him work his passage. Tho conductor ass< nt -d, andtho dog was hitched to the rear o! tbs train.
