" Where?" " lo Chicago." " When ? " " When 1 married my second wife." Mr. Bernard, the newly-elected member for Cariboo, was introduced and took hia SMt. Sir Hector Langevin presented the annual report of the Department of State. Mr. Ellis iatrodaced a Bill to aotbori^a the assessment of the salaries on incomes of persons in the service of Canada. Hs explained that the object of the Bill was to provide that in places where adsessments were levied apon salaries or incomes for municipal or school purposes, the law shall include civil servants. The Bill wag read a first time. Mr. Bowell, in answer to an inquiry from Mr. Cho<]aette, said that the cost of the preparation of the electoral lists ap to the time when the Government Printing Bareaa assumed control was S4U,.'3T-1 ; and the cost since that time had been $21.50'2. i'be value of the plant acquired in the bureau was Sti^.S-t'J. Bir Adolphe Caron, in answer to an in- quiry from Mr. Piatt, said the Government had agreed to purchase a housa in Kmg- ston for the use of Ihe Commandant of the Boyal Military Coilege. The prije to be paid was $l'2.500. The house was dis- tant about '2,000 yards from the college. Mr. Haggart, ia answer to an iu'iuiry from Mr. Therieo, said it was not the inten- tion of the Government to reduce the rate of postage on letters. Mr. Bain (Wentwortb). in moving for returns respecting the condition and owner- ship of the Dundas & Waterloo road, cailed attention to the iojary which is being done to tralll: in hu constituency through the road not being kept in a proper condition, owing to the Government not giving the owner authority to put in check- gates. Sir Hector Langevin replied that the Government were at present having the ownership investigated, and when that point was settled there would be no more cauie f jr complaint. Mr. Mulock moved that the House do resolve itself into a committee of the whole to consider the following resolution : That it is expedient to remove the duty on arti- ficial fertilizers and to place them on the free list. He said that under the present duty of 20 per cent, the farmers of Canada were preveuted from using artificial fer- tilizers. When in 14S7 i( was proposed by the Government to change the duty to a specific one, it was proposed that fertilut^ri should be placed en the free list. The result was that the Minister of Finance withdrew bis motion, and the duty re- mained the same. The time had now arrived when is was the duty of the House to consider whether it was not in the interests of the Canadian farmer that this tax shbu'.d be removed. It was a direct burden upon the farmer, and was wholly iadefenBible as a matter of political economy. The following Bills were introduced : A Bill to incorporate the Assets d: De- benture Company of Canadaâ€" Mr. Edgar. A Bill to incorporate the Ottawa ,.(: Mon- treal Boom ComiMny â€" Mr. Giroaard. A Bill to incorporate the Dominion Lite Assurance Company â€" Mr. Trow. A BUI to incorporate the Assinaboine â- k Edmonton Hallway â€" Mr. Dawson. A Bill amending the isx incorporating the Boiler Inspection Insarance Companies of Canada â€" Mr. Brown. On motion by Mr. Foster that the House go iutj Committee of Supply, Mr. Mills ^Boihwell) drew attention to the faot that the Minister of Finance, in laying the estimates before the House, had not moved that they be referred to the Committee of Supply. The Speaker said the motion had been entered in the votes and proceedings by the Clerk, pro forma, and hoped the House would adhere to the rules more strictly in future. Ihe House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. On the item for Customs, Mr. Charlton referred to the large num- ber of Customs officials who rective large sums from fines from seizures in addition to their salaries. The system of allowing officers of the department to participate in the profits from seizures was, he believed, a vicious cue, and one calcalated to dis- turb trade and indict great hardship on importers. Mr. Ferguson (Welland) concurred en- tirely in the remarks of the last speaker. lu his owu oouuty Customs officers had pocketed as high as }1,100 in a year from seizures, and subjected in many cases merchants to the inconvenience of a search where there was not the slightest ground for suspicion. On the items for the Fost-offio« Depart- ment, Mr. Mitchell inquireU whether or not the Government intended to reduce the rate of postage to two cents for the half ounce ? Mr. Haggart said such a change was not at present contemplated. Mr. Bain inquired if the Government had considered the feabib lity of increasing the weight of letters to ba carried fcr three cents from half an ounce to one ounce ? Mr. Haggart said he intended bringing in a Bill during the present session, involv- ing a number of ohauges in Post-olli.» re- galations, of which that mentioned by the bon. gentleman would be one. Mr. Burdett suggested that insufficientiy prepaid letters, where the name of the sender appears on the envelope, should be returned lor full postage instead of being Sent to the dead letter office. Mr. Haggart said instructions to this effect bad already been issu^ to most of the city postmasters. The item passed. Sir John Thompson, in am«er to in- quiries from Mr. Barron, said the Jesuits' Estates Bill had been before the Govern- ment for oonsideratioD, and the Minister of Justice had on the 16th ult. reported to His Excellency recommending that this granting any sum to aid in the construc- tion of a drill shed at Belleville. Mr. Denison, in moving for a select com- mittee to inquire into the desirability of the Government acquiring all electric tele- graph lines in Canada, said he had laid the matter fully before the House last session, and would briedy renew hia argument in favor of it. He bad pointed oat on that occasion that nearly every coantry in the world except Canada and the United States had acquired the telegraph lines. In France, Austria, Germany, Switzarlaad and nearly all over Europe the telegraph lines were assumed by the respective Gov- ernments more than twenty years ago. A young coantry like Canada sQoald not be behind the world, and it was time we were taking some steps to control the lines in our coantry. No doubt it would involve a large outlay of money, but be did not see why the telegraph lines shoaid not be managed as well by the Government as by private companies. Already the Government owned lines in the Northwest Territory and Eastern Provinces. These hnea were bailt in sparsely settled districts, where there were no private lines. If it was a good thing for the Government to own su;h unproductive lines, it would ba a much better investment to control those WMich pais through thickly populated distress. The Government coali borrow money at a lower rile of interest than could a private company, and woald no doubt receive sulii- cienl revenue to repay the investment. It was a strange thing that the Ieadin.> lines of the Dominion should be coctroUed by a person living outside of Canada, who was thus able to form, cr apparently form, public opinion in this coantry. In support of this he instanced Mr. Wiman's despatch to the Canadian press. This showed that a dangerous power was placed in the bands of a foreign company. He thought the time was drawing near when the Govern- ment shotild be in a position to assume the control of the telegraph lines. Sir Hector Langevin replied that the lime had not yet come for the Government to purchase the telegraph lines. Besides the telegraph companies there were rail- ways possessing lines, and he hardly thought they could be taken over. The as- sumption of lines would require a very large sum, much larger than people were at pre- sent wilUug 10 Invest ii^ihataireciion. The boa. gentleman had said these lines would return a good revenue, but it was well known that large andertakings in the hands of a private corporation always gave a bet- ter revenue than when in the hands of the Government. Besicos, it was well known that at that time politics ran high in this coantry. l:ie feared tbut if the Govern- ment worked tbe lines the Opposition would have very little confidence in the secrecy of their election despatches. Ue asked the member for West Toronto to withdraw his motion. Mr. Denison withdrew his motion. Mr. Jamieson moved that, in the opinion of this House, it is expedient to prohibit the manufacture, importation and sale of intoxicating liquors, except for sacra- mental, medicinal, scientific aud mechani- cal purposes. Ihal Ihe enforcement of such prohibition and si:h manufacture, importation and sale ss may be allowed shall be by tho Dominion Government through specially appointed officers. He quoted statistics lo prove that there had bet-n a decrease of crime under the Canada femperance Act. If local option bad had a salutary effect, he contended that general prohibition would be e<jually, if not more, satisfactory. Tbe morals of the people and the happiness of the people would both be promoted by prohibition. .Vs he was exceedingly anxious to reach a division, he curtailed his remarks and trusted the reso- lution would receive a much larger support thau formerly Mr. Wood (BrockviUe) moved in amend- ment that all the words after the word " purposes " be omitie 1, and tbe following subsiitcted : " When the public sentiment of the coantry is ripe for the reception and enforcement of such a msasare of prohi- bition." Mr. Taylor moved in amendment to the amendment that all the words after the word " purposes " be struck out, and the f"'lowiug substituted : " If it be found on t<iov..'nof X'a' qualified electors of the Dominion haMug first been taken that the majority thereof are in favor of a prohibi- tory law, which shall also make full provi- sion for compensating those engaged in the manufacture of such liquor." Mr. Fishec said there might be good grounds for asking that prohibition be sub- mitted to tbe people apart from every other question. He could not accept the amendment to the amendment, however, because it asserted the principle of compen- sation. He did not think the adoption of the amendment would be any aid to the temperance cause. He thought that the true friends of prohibition would support tbe original resolution. Mr. Mitchell moved the adjournment of the debate- Mr. Landerkin moved. That whereas distillers are allowed a rebate of duty upon corn imported for use iu the manufacture of spirits for export, it is, in the opinion of this House, but jest and right that farmers and stock raisere, who import corn to feed cattle or other stock for export, should also receive a similar rebate. He held this was a matter of justice to the farmers, who were suffering from tbe present discrimina- tion against them. BKAJKIM LUMti AGO. A Point ICade to F^vur the Wearer Who Kncoontsrmi an Eaemr, Cor Saxon anoMtors delighted in wear- ing long, forked beards ; the Normans, on the contrary, at the period of tbe conqoeat, not only shaved their china but also the back of their heads. They had not, how- ever, been long established in England before they permitted their beards to grow to extravagant dimensions. Long beards were also in fashion in the reign of Richard 1., and continaed so tmtil tbe time of Henry IV., after whose reign they grew fine by degrees and beaatifnlly less, antil a beard was as rare as the dcdo. But the reformation came to the rescue of the beard and in this way : After tbe separa- tion of the Greek and Latin charchea the practice of shaving became a religioua duty among the Roman ecclesiastics, by way of opposition to the Greeks, who to this day have continued to pay reverence to a well clad chin and are Kreatly shocked by che beardless imaties of sainta in the Latin churches. The shaving of the chin by the clergy was imperatively commanded by various statutes in the Romish church. By tbe monastic laws the lay monks were commanded lo let their beards grow and only the priests to shave -, aud a writer previous to the reformaiioo complains that the manners of the cleruy had become so corrupt that they coul t not beldistinguished from the laity by their actions, but only by their lack of beards. Couse<{aently the early reformers snffcred their bearda to grow to discinguish them from the ad- herents to Rome ; and the rcformatien be- coming general in England, the beard by this means came into fashion. As to the shapes of the beard worn by our forefathers, they seem to have been of infinite variety. At a period when almost all men wore S'.vords and those weapons were frequiutly drawn to CociJo very trirfing quarrels, a beard cut to look terrible lo sn enemy was probably no small advantage 10 the wearer. â€"L'jndun SttMud^ird.

From the Philadelphia Vinut we learn that in all the litbograpbio esiabliahmenta of tbe country Where the work is mainly done by German wurkingmeu.a stipalatiou requires the proprietors to furnish beer as a part of the employees' wag^is. In tbe mammoth lithographic department of JuJ:/< in New York iity, where IJCO men are employed, each one receives under tbe terms of contract with his employer three pints of beer a day. more than seven bar- rels being consumed in tbe department daily. " I dread the white man's drink more than all iho arrows of the Matabele. ' is the seotinient of a South African Chief; and tbe Emir of Bokhara, in bis treaty with the Russians, has set us a notable example, for whilst he accords free intro- duction of all other Russian commerce, he strictly prohibits inloxicating liquors. Some painful figures have ju^i been pub- lisbed about the ravages of drink in Bel- gium, and these are very much traced to the absence of proper licensing laws, and to tbe facility with which public-bouses can in that kingdom be kept open untile o'clock in tbe morning, or, fur the matter of that, all Ihe night through. Tbe condition of affairs is such that neither political party dare touch it â€" it would lose them an elec- tion. The remedy will have to be souidht in a patriotic anion of all parties. - Tlit Uock.
