The inbstanoe of the report was recently published. In concluding tbe report the committee ay* that the entrance fee of 50 centi and clearance fee of 60 cent*, or *1 every time n American vessel viiit* a Canadian port on the great lake* and their tributary bay*, river* and straits, constitute an nnjost dis- crimination again! American vessels, Canadian vessels being ixenipt from such charges by a lioenae fee of 60 oents payable oaoe a year. Booh discrimination violates the spirit if not the letter of Ihe Washing- ton treaty of 1H71. The lawi of Canada place American aud Canadian vessels upon the ttme terms as to entrance and clear- nee fees, but the discrimination i* made through an order in -council.

The minuet which Btraass i* about to In- troduce to the partial ixoluaion of hi* own waltz was the lirat ball dance which had a really world- wide popularity. It is a alow, digni- fied danoe, an appropriate product of the time and place of ita birth. It is very old. When Don Juan d'Anatria went incognito from Brunei* to Paris nothing be saw daring his ftmon* trip excited hi* admira n half so much at as the grace with which the beautiful Margaret of Burgundy danoed the minuet. Other beam and titled daudie* cf the same period also pot in writing flattering allusion* to the baautie* of thi* danoe. Neverthelei* it i* exceed- iogly doubtful that the minuet of thoae time* wai the original model of the minuet of to day. The minoet, which very recently hit appeared in the Pariilan salons, wa* invented by the French ballet master GardC'l, or rather wai evolved by him from a much older dance for the celebration of the marriage of King Louis XVI. " Minuet of Ibe Queen" is the title which the gallant (itrdel gave to hi* new dance in honor of Marie Antoinette. The figures of a dance of the time of Loni* XIV. were utilised by Gardel a* the basis of hi* new minuet. The old danoe. with which every court ball of Lcui* XIV. wa* opened, contiited mostly therein that the gentleman and the lady faced each other, moved faw stepa forward and backward in time with digcided and sonorous music, bowed deeply aud returned to their places. This dance wta called the " Braule." It was succeeded by the gavotte, in which " the gentlemen kiaaed the bou<ja6l of flowers, and, with a deep bow, handed it to bis partner." From this gavotte Oardel derived the minuet. The f amoni dancing master Pecourt introduced an important innovation by chanuiug tbo B figure into the /. figure, which ii itill danoed. The minuet i* the only danoe which preserve* the courtly dignity of Ihe old regime, and, therefore, has ever been regarded a* the moat aristocratic of danoe*. The moil popular of minuet muaio ia from the firat flnalo of M. . rt'rt "Don Juan." 7 hi* mnmo in the mod- 1 cf all other manic to which the miuutt ha* been dauced uf Ute yean.
