A well written letter concerning certain matrimonial questions, and signed " Corretpondcnt ," has been duly received by- us. The author of the letter will confer a favor by send HP,' us his n.il name and address, not ;. i ssarily for publication, but as a oiiurantec of good faith. We shall tin u be pleased to give his entertain- ui ' letter a place in our columns. Otherwise it will be consigned to the .w;i:>te. basket, much as wo may regret it. The recent attempt (?) to blow up the parliament buildings at Toronto, Lits been tho subject for considerable discussion. Some have attempted to bo witty concerning the matter ; but where the humor couies in when p-iblie property, and the lives of Iminan beings arc at stake, sane, i. .i-oniii},' mortals, arc at a loss to determine. The matter demands earn- searching investigation ; and the person, who put the dan- KCiour, dynamite shells in the parlia- Ir.-.ildiiigs. bo a crank, a fenian, <n- a lunatic, he should fcn looked aft. r .^..dily brought fo jastico. In tin iiitime the so-called "wits" on our big dailies will do well to confine attention to the all-absorbing i >pic of " The Mule." and other kind snbjects, which have for many ruoous" formed the chief tlume of i .r " discourse."
