As everybody knows, Parliament can~ . not give effect to any of its decrees un» ‘ less the Mace is on the Table, and it is ‘ within the memory of readers of the daily papers that on one occasion the . Sergeant-atâ€"srms forgot to put the Mace on the Table after the House had been in Committee, and that the mem- bers of the Government narrowly escap- ed being carried to the Tower of Lona don, and there behesded‘lby order of Lord Beaconsfield inconsequence. Next in importance to the Mace is the Speak- er’s Hat. It is not by any means a formidable looking afl‘air, and would hardly be sufficient to keep your head l warm on a cold day. But it is the sym-I bol of power and dignity, without which the Speaker would have no influence or authority War the House. It has long been a question among anxious students of the monsrchisl form of government whether the Speaker should put his Hat on or'talre it elf when addressing the House. The practice in vogue is for the Speaker to .address the House with his Hat on, taking it 013‘ when he sits down, although there are not Want- ing those who take the view that this is wrong, and that the House should be addressed by the Speaker with his Hat any one who has had anything to do with them will admit that there is only too much truth in the remark. The popular name for Division Courts is comprehensively exact-J“ Courts of Er- ror without appeal." Pettyfogging leg~ isiation of the meanest kind brought them into existence. for the purpose apparently of creating a class of semi- oriminals, out of all persons who did not take care when they were going into debt that the sum of their liabilities to any one person exceeded 8100. There is such a manifest absurdity on the face of such a system, that it is astonishing that it has been allowed to exist as long as it has. Those who have to resort to it for the collection of small debts are , aware how easily it is for the debtor to i make payment not worth the trouble of enforcement The truth is, that all leg- islation such as bankruptcy laws and inquisitorial institutions are bad in principle, and only aggravate the evils they are propomd to remedy. All traders are impressed with the absolute value of the cash system in all transac- tions less than 8100. But it would puzzle the proverbial Philadelphia law- l yer to declare why that sum should be ; fixed upon as limiting liability to im~ prisonment under the disguise of con» contempt of Court. A debt is equal in moral obligation, whether it be for one dollar or a million of dollars, and a Gov- ernment which introduces degrees of turpitude according to amount in inverse ratio, gives a premium to extravagance. The course proposed in relation to these courts will therefore be watched with great interest.

Lstterly, however, we have had bright clear skies and almost balmy winds, and a power in the sun's rays which has reminded us all of our Indian summer. Up to this time we here had no real winter weather, and there remain but six or eight weeks in which we an have it. It may be severe within tlint time, it is true, but it is pleasant to know that it must be short, A remarkable fact in connection with our weather experi-- ence is the contrast between it and the 1 experience of countries where the win- ters are nsunlly mild.

The pretence of being pleased with things in general, of having faith in people, and of getting on as well as one’e neigh- bor'e will help any man who is in busi- ness. The real thing is, of course, in- comparably better. The genuine cheer- i inese, the sunny smile, the mirthful ; remerk, the disposition to put the best construction on everything are together almost irresistible. They checklnate 1 all hostile feeling in those with whom we have to do. They give a fancy value to everything we say. They make it a pleasure to others to he served by us or to serve us.
