He attacked the Government for abandoning the Irish Peace Preservation Act and for not resorting to coercion long ago. The Government had broken down in Ireland and the mischief was inoaloulable. The Government had been guilty of criminal neglect. He refused to believe that any tinkering of the land l'aws would effectually settle the question. Information had reached him that not a tenth part of the outrages committed were reported, and that the mischief was grow- ing. ‘ Mr. Gladstone replied that there was no serious dimculty to apprehend in regard to the Greek frontier question. Every step taken had been taken in concert with the other powers, which was the best method for solution of the question. The Govern- ment was not responsible for the Bssnto wet. The late Government had not re. commended the renewal of the Irish Peace Preservation Act. If there was any censure in connection with the subject it belonged to the late Government. and not to the present Government, which only succeeded to oflice when the act had lapsed, and which could only renew it. As to the accusations against the Executive, it was afact that wherever they had prohibited a meeting, that meeting was not held. The Government thought they were bound to try the effect of the emsting laws. They had not, like the late Government,arrested three insignificant persons who were never brought to trial. Crime and violence had prevailed in Ireland 1 to a far greater extent than now. He would i not admit that the Land Act of 1878 had 1altogether failed, but he did admit that new provisions were requisite as to the assignment of tenants’ interest, and that clauses intended to give free scope to the experiment of creating a peasant proprie- tary were almost inoperative. The Gov’ ernment did not see their way to dealing with the borough franchise in Ireland this session. Mn Gladstone concluded by say- ingpthat the Government were addressing themselves to a task in which, owinghto human Weakness, they might fail, ut which would redound to the honor and happiness of all if- they succeeded. - A~~ Ind“- n.-l_...\ .1..c.....1,,,1 no Emu-ta v. a.-. -- - . __, r. O‘Connor (Home Ruler) defended the action of the Land League. Mr. Johnson, Solicitor-General for Ireland, justified the action of the Government in Erohihiting several meetings where they ad reason to apprehend danger to life. After several Irish members and others had spoken, the debate was adjourned on motion of Mr. Parnell. Mr. Gladstone will probably ask the House of Commons to give the Government all the'days of the session, and request memberstosaorifice their private rights in the present emer. gency. In the House of Lords Earl Beaconsfleld 1 made a long 9 each. He declared that the * accession of t e present Government had unsettled everything in Europe. Asia and Ireland, by reversing the policy of their predecessors. at the time of whose overthrow peace was assured. He strongly denounced the conduct of the Government in waiting until the last moment to propose repressive measures in Ireland and said circumstances warranted an amendment to the address in that sense, but the state of Ireland required speedy measures. He therefore recom- mended the House to proceed immediately ‘ to discuss the Ministerial measures for re- ‘ storing order and liberty to the long-suffer- \ ing_ subjects of the Queen. ‘ "Hr”..sll- ““3 14an ‘1nt‘ Ins u :1 Wm: v- qu V“'â€"' After Lord Granville and others had] spoken. the address in reply to‘ the Speech 1 from the Throne was agreed to. ; During the latter part of the debate Earl Granville said the Government refrained from asking for extraordinary powers earlier because they were unwilling to apply repression without remedialmeasnres. the Government Were enabled permanently to improve the position of the peasants, he believed peace, prosperity and order would be restored. , A _ -. o [1" , , __“_A:._-\ u. lunwavu‘ '~ The Duke of Marlborough (Conservative) ] thought the present system of administra-‘ tion would be productive of the most serious consequences. ‘Earl Spencer.

Contradiction of the Stories Concerning the Princess Louise and Her Roya‘ Moth“- Loxnos, J an. 6iâ€"The best authority says that the stories persistently put about in one or another of the society journals for months past as to a“ serious personal dis- agreement between the Queen and Princess Louise have absolutely no foundation. They are the more scandalous that in con. nection with them an impression has been sought to be generated that the Queen has wished the Princess Louise to return to Canada, and that the princess has refused. ‘The truth is that» the Queen has exerted her maternal authority to .prevent the princess from returning to Canada. on than specific declaration of Sir Wm. Jenner that t 9 health of the princess has been so severely shaken by the consequences of the serious accident which Occurred to her last year at Ottawa, as to make it a fluestion of life or death whether she we (1 pass the winter quietly here under treatment, or venture upon an Atlantic voyage and a Canadian Winter. She is still under the care of Sir Wm. Jenner. and her condition is still too precarious to make it possible for her advisers to fix any time at which it will be prudent for her to set out on a transatlantic trip. TRICIIINJE DIAGNOBED. The Terrible Disease and m Ravage: Explained. Of the causes of this terrible disease a Chicago physician writes: We know that the hog gets the disease by eating rats and mice, but we do not know where the rats get their supplyâ€"very probably from in- sects. Nothing has ever been discovered which will counteract the effect of triohinaa or kill it after it has once found its way into the muscles of aperson. The only thing for the patient to do is to take quin- ‘ine if he is at all feverish and to strengthen himself on wine or beer. If he is able to stand the siege after the trichinaa has found its way into the muscles, all right: if not, he dies. It is only in the stomach that trichinm breeds. The breeding is what creates the pains in the stomach. and it is while the little ones are scattering through the muscles in search of a rma- ment abode that the patient’s y and limbs are filled with pain. Aiter the loca- tions are finally reached the patient recov- ers. As an illustration oi the terrible havoc which a small quantity of trichinw could create he referred to the {act that once in a small European town one pcrker afleoted1 with trichinm caused the sickness .of no less than 850 persons. of which number 100 died. “ You might not believe it." said the doctor, “ but it the flesh‘oi every diseased person were subjected to the microscope it would be shown that about one out of ever , “A r.

Jan.6.â€"â€"-A dastardly assault was committed on Mr. Barr. editor of the Post, last evening by one James 0. Grace, son of Mr. Wm. Grace,- of this town. Mr. Barr was proceeding along Lindsay street to tea at 6 o’clock. When he was passing the Separate‘ school young Grace stepped out of the -recess of the gateway where he had been ‘waiting. and rushing iorvnird struck Mr. Barr a violent blow in the face with his fist without a ward of warning. It was quite dark. and Mr. Barr had not the least idea who his ruflianly assailant was, but closed with him, and in the struggle both fell into the ditch. Here Grace gave several blows and either kicked or stamped on Mr. Barr, who managed in a few moments to get to his feet. Grace then drew a rawhide from his breast. whereupon Mr. Barr. to prevent the attack. closed with him and thus foiled his asseilant's design to use it. and for the first time recognized Grace. On some people “Pylunvuau _-V-_.V s withdrew. BThe assault is believied to have arisen out of criticisms in the Post concern- ing the action of Grace's father, who is chairman of the School Board, as shortly after the article was published Mr. Grace, sen., declared publicly that if .it was not that he might lose his position as clerk of the court he would give Barr the " dâ€"dest‘ licking he ever got in his life.” The son‘ probably acted upon the paternal inspira- tion, but doubtless in a more cowardly :manner than the father would have done. Fortunately Mr. Barr is not seriously in- jured. The news of the assault spread rapidly through the town and the warmest sympathy was generally expressed for Mr. Barr. whilst no words were found to be too strong in condemning the cowardly ac tion of his ruflianly assailant. “ anron'r.
