1d's history has there been so thorns scattered over the 8 of tyranffical rulers as there p mt this day and these thorns will "continue to multiply in direct pro- n to the onward march of the car of enlightenment until there shall be nospot left on the surface of i God's earth whereon the despot, the tyrant, the oppressor may place his foot. Vain old Greece and proud old Rome had their rulling tyrants and imperial despots, and earlier still treacherous Egypt and super- cilious Assyria too had their heart- Jess tyrants and overbearing slave drivers who for generations exercis- ed their despotic powers almost un questioned and unresented. But the march of civilization in all these lands gradually crushed the ser- pent's head and wiped thetyrants from their seats. Absolutism and civilization are incompatable, while the former exists the existence of the latter is not only dwarfed but procarious. Dospotism and enlight « enmont canfiot oxist in the same land. What was true of tho past is emphatically trun of the present and «Freedom's battle once begun, Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son, Though baffled oft, is ever won." Thesword of Domocles is suspend- ed over the head of every tyrant at this day by a hair as fragile as that of the ancient despot, and none know better the proximity of the avenging sword than the despots themselves. The Emperor of Germany is painfuly aware of its presence and is in hourly dread of the unseen and avenging hand.-- Again and again tho erring shaft has been sent on its mission of death or admonition ; and while all rejoice at the repeated escapes none can bo insensible to the lesson conveyed. Again tako the case of Aloxunder II, Emperor of Russia, what is bis life News comes but a scene of horror. from Berlin jstute that of late the 'Czar has hardly eyer left the Winter Palace and when be went abroad he was surrounded by. mounted officers who concealed thevarriage and pro- tected the inmate with their bodies. In the palace he was accessiblo only to the diplomatists, dignitaries and * officers of the household. At chapel detectives occupied the souts form- erly reserved for distinguished visitors. Detectives infested the kitchen. Every dish was tasted by | persons of rank. The Czar did nct even veniuue to open his letters documents steeped in poison having repeatedly been sent him. The Vienna Tagblatt relates that for some days past the Czar daily re- ceived a sealed letter saying that if _ he did not change his system of op- pression he would not live to cele- brate the 25th anniversary of his accession. The sheet was always bordered with black. In court circles it was known as the black - - nging band has followed into inmost hall, the dinning death and destruction guards while tho Czar us has Alexander escaped ing shaft and each succeed 'has been more daring Ray caards as the throne itself, and if ne set of rulers refuse to listen to us we bave the remedy in our own hands and we can dismiss such rulers and replace them with those who can and will redress our wrongs. We under such circustances would be worse than devils did we seek re- course to other than legitimate means to redress our wrongs sceing that such a remedy is in our own hands. But where can the people in despotic lands seek a remedy for their many wrongs ? Do they utter a complaint ? that is sedition; do they resist oppression? that is rebellion ; do they complain of the Government ? that is treason ; any of which crimes subjects the unfor- tunate to the most severe punish- ment evento loss of lifoand the degredation and banishment of all that are near and dear to him.-- There is no such thing known in such lands as legitimate complaints and however wronged and abused ovory complaint is a crime. Thero can bo no such thing as legitimate resistance of abuse where all resist- ance is strictly forbidden by law under a penalty of confiscation; ban- ishment or death. Let those lands of tyranny and oppression take a leaf out of. the British Constitution. Let the people have their rights, give them the means of their own wrongs and (reasonable conspiracies redressing and all rogicidisms would become impossible, the weapon would drop from the nerveless grasp of the assassin and a loving, loyal people would rally rennd and protect their sovereign. And while we guard with a miser's care the glorious bul- warks of our own liberties let us fondly hope that the time is not far distant when these peoples shall and thus render harmless the phrase "killing enjoy free institutions no murder' and render impossible that darkest ingredient in the cup of barbarism --assassination.

DBwt thanks to the vigilance of the Op: position and the activity of the re- presentative of the Mail the nice little game was spoiled and the items of this model bill laid before the taxpayers when it was shown that tho convenient word "supplies" was made to doduty for every imagin- able luxury. This account contain- ed within its ample folds cork~ screws sufficient to arm every second man, nearly 2,000 cigars, 760 bottles of Brandy, Old-rye, Ale and a large quantity of fancy drinks.

As a business man Mr, Pentland was honorable and up- right ip all his transactions ; as a druggist he was careful and reliable, asa towns nan though but young in years, he was highly |respeoted for his many good qualities. The amiable young lady his partner in' lite, en- joyed the esteem and respect of all who bad the pleasure of her acquainiance.-- While we regret their removal as a loss to both our business and social community, we are pleased to know that the change was entirely of their own option and we con- gratulate our Wellington friends on the valuable acquisition they bave made to their commaunit, ; ---------------- A Sgconp Visir--This locality has had the pleasure of a second visit from Mr, J.

(See the Adv.) -- Something Really Good. Thanks to the first-class abilities of Miss Smith as & music teacher and thorough trainer of the young, this locality was furn- ished an opportunity of listeningto a rehearsal of her music class and of witnessing a mag- nificent Fairy display. Our Town Hall was well filled with a highly intelligent audience and had the roads been in a condition for travel the hall would doubtless have been packed, The opening chorus by the class was done in such style as to warrant the expectation of a splendid entertainment and went far to prove the ability of the teacher and the apti- tude of the scholars, Miss Bateman's piano solo was good. Mis Jessie Paxton sang "Waiting" in capital taste, «Martin? a trio by Misses A and F Brown and Master W, Cochrane was well done. Miss Maud Gordon's piano solo, Carnival de Venice," was charming, Miss F. Brown and Mr, F. Warner sang a charming duct and got a rousing encore, Misses A. Robertsand M. Gordon gare an excellent duet which was loudly encored. The second part of the entertainment con. sisted of a fairy operetta called the * Sleep- ing Beauty," and it certainly was beautiful, go many bandsome, intelligent boys and girls in all their attractive fairy decorations was a magnificent sight and their activity in performiug and fine address were most creditable to all concerned, Miss Smith may well be congratulated on the success of the evening and she certainly received the best vote of thanks that could be given through storms of applause which greeted the performances of her pupils. -- Entertainment at Oartwright. An interesting entertainment under the auspices of the L. O. brethren of Cartwright was held at Williamsburg on the 25th inst. The day was most unfavorable and prevent- ed very many from attending who otherwise would have been present, still the attendance was large, surprisingly*large when the con- dition of the weather is considered. Tea was eerved in Holt's large hall and the three long tables stretching the entire length of the hull, got up in the most hand- some style by the fair entertainers, loaded with all that could be desired for an enjoy- gent and most enjoyable company. The Cartwright ladies know how to treat their guests and on this occasion they fully sus- tained their well merited reputation, This was a social in the best sense of the term for not only was the entertainment excellent social and sought to contribute to the plea sure of others, There wero ample provisions made for a generous supply of masic, a brass band and a couple of fife and drum bands, but the unfavorable weather prevented any great display outside, while the wet aud dark night caused many to leave before the speaking commenced. Ten miles of mud about as broad as it was long and deep as it was broad was a little too much between one and his home 'on a dark night so that the Port Pecryites found it necessary, how= ever roluctantly, to start for home ere the speaking commonced, a ion which under ordinary circumstances they would not have submitted to for the names of: the rev, gentlemen who were billed for adresses was a sufficient guarantee for something good in that line. All expressed sincere regret at being forced by circumstances b forego so fine a treat.

The Dominion have now got the decks thoroughly cleared for action, The Speech from the Throne if not re markably extensive contained ma- terial for an important Session and afforded plenty of scope for the elognence of both sides of the House, for every subject that is touched is of vital importance and will minds on both sides of the House for their proper handling. The Ontario boundary question came and western boundaries of Ontario. speches made on this occasion were worthy of the gentlemen who occupied the floor.-- Mr. Dawson who introduced the subject gave an cxcellent address in the course o which he showed that the arbitrators had own, and while acknowledging that this was not the true boundary they.made an award as if they had done their duty which they certainly did not do. Mr, Mills, one of the arbitrators, who has already a bill before the House to confirm the award ot the arbitrators, objected to the appointment of a committee. Mr. McDonald (Pictou), followed with an eloquent address, The speaker dwelt on the fact that the case of the Dominion was not fairly put before the arbitrators and that due consideration had not been given to the dominion side of the case. He considers that the Government would be recreant to their trust if they allow either the money or territory to be wrongfully banded over to any other party if in their power so prevent it," Mr. Blake followed in his usual forcible manner, He holds that the &rbitrators had not exceeded their duty and that they had gone according to Instruction; but even allowing that the arbitrators had made a blunder the Government would not be justifiable iu assuming the weighty respon- sibility of rejecting the award, He com~ plained bitterly of the Government allowing a private member to bring in a motion on so important a subject, shirking of responsibility on the part of the he regarded it as a Government, Bir John followed in a speech worthy of the head of the Dominion Government, he said that in regard to the Government shirk- ing responsibility, he never understood that the reference of a subject to a committee was a means of avoiding the responsibility which was thrown on the Government of the day. The committee might assist tho Govern. ment in arriving at a conclusion,' but could not shield them from responsibility, The had argued that if a committee were ap- pointed, it should be struck on the respon~ sibility of he Government, and not on the mere action of a piivate member, . If it were true that a private member could not in- troduce ca resolution on this subject, how could an hon. member introducga bill #-- For the hon. member for Bothwell, a private member, without consulting the Govern- ment, had introduced a Lill on the boundary question, and taken upon himself to enable the Government to escape their rexponsibili- ties. which the hon. member for West Dur- ham was resolved they should shoulder, The speaker went into the subject with that minutencss and accuracy of reasoning He said that when the arbitrators were appointed the becoming so important a subject. then Government gave'the House to under~ stand that the duty of the arbitrators was to ascer{ain the true boundaries and these same arbitrators now confess that they have not given the true buta compromise boundary able tea and surrounded by a large, intelli~ | jugt as if any Government would delegate to any three men the entire control of saying where they wished the boundary to be. The debate was continued on Thursday, Mr. Mackenzie leading off with a few com- mon places quite uoworthy of the important but all present made themselves enjoyably subject before the House. Mr. Macdougall followed in ope of his best strains, in referring to the property vast extent and if the boundary of Ontario is set as given iu the award the additional The Province as then extended is now, and Belgium, dealt with per saltum by a new Parliament, desirous tl bit should be speedily require the concentrated efforts of the best up on the 18th inst., by the member for Algoma moving for the appointment of a Committee to consider the award of the # arbitrators appointed to determine the north The aot done their duty or in other words while they were commissioned to decid as to the true boundaries of Ontario they had not done so but had assumed a boundary of their hon, member for West Durham (Mr. Blake) | under consideration he said that it was of territory given to that Province will be greater in extent than the whole Province would contain 200,000 square miles, or 80- 000 square miles greater than the United Kingdom, 13,000 less thay tha Gerthan Empire, and equal to the combined sre of|~ Holland, Portugal, united Ttaly, Switzerland Bo it would ba seen how large a portion of the earth's surfuce dhis parliament bad to deal with, It could not be said that such a question as this could be In the course of his excellent address Mr. Mncdougall took Messrs Blake and Macken- gle pretty shurply over the fingers, He sald he was one of those who had taken part in the earlier digeussions of this matter, he' we While dealing with it as Et appointed by the Ontario Government, he held tho same. opinion ag the. hon, member M into his own hands, and, from that > though he and his: party had subsequent both the Ontario and Dominion Parliaments under their contiol, they had allowed the matter to remain unconsidered and un- decided ; and, under these circumstances, the endeavor by those gentlemen to press a new Parliamentjto deal hurriealy with the matter, did not come with good grace from them. As to the question itself he might her western boundary was at the north-west angle of the Lake of the Woods was very clear to him, Mr. McCarthy closed the debate in a epecch creditable to his ability as a close reasoner, - The vote was now taken on Mr. Dawson's motion for the appointment of & committee and was carried by 123 yeas to 52 nays. The second reading of the bill to repeal the Insolvency Act came up for discussion and was read a second time. The addition of two Supreme Court Judges to the British Columbia staff occupied a large portion of Friday's sitting. A motion was made by the Premier and carried nnanimously to forward at onge $100,000 from the public treasury for the r lief ot the famishing thousands of Ireland. No ane will growl at the grant but one may imagine that the authors of the misrule which places a nation of powerful active and easily satisfied people so near the brink of starvation that one ycars failure of crops will cast them on the charity of the would, would feel ashamed of their past misrule and seek in future to mete out more justice to a fleec- ed and down trodden people. On Monday Mr, Blake introduced his bill for the farther suppression of crime one clause of which directs that the amount of punishment inflicted on criminals shall be in the Geometrical ratio of the number of convictions and providing also that parties having been once convicted may at uny time after be punished on suspieion. The bill will be a litle ornamental if it be of no use. Mr. McCarthy's Railway Commission Bill is a move far in the right direction,-- Amongst other important provisions there is a clause in the bill to prevent the littles great, severely bumptious railway autocrats from venting their petty spleen on those who resist their tyranny or refuse to bow to their mightinesses, by discrimicating against such in the matter of freight rates as the would- be magnates of the W.

Our Local Legislature are picking away trying to extend their patronage by taking into their own hands the appointment of every man woman and child in the country whose office is worth over ten dollars a year, They bave now thrown their covetous glance towards the appointment of gaolers and cther gaol officials and they mean to take these into their own hands, 2 The bill for the abolition of Market Fees was read a second time onThursday, The bill for exempting the goods of lodgers from being seized for the rent of the occu ier Taeir chief aim and object appears to be the of the house was read a second time, spending of the people's money and extend- ing their party influence by taking all ap- pointments into their own hands, Com- missioners of Licenses, Inspectors of Licenses, Inspectors of Prisons, Inspectors of Devision Courts, Inspectors of Roads, Devi- sion Court Clerks and Bailiffs, Gaolers and Goal officials, in fact everything down to the boot-biack.

Sir Garnet got his back up and sent word home to England that Russel was both exaggerating the disorder of the troops and telling absolute falsehoods in other matters. No sooner was Russel's veracity impeached than he hurries home to England to defend himself. In his letter he says: --I have too ~~ much respect, both for myself and for Sir Garnet Wolsely to bandy strong adjectives and offensive substan- tives, At the same time 1 venture to think that His Excellency had better have waited for the official report before he publicly in dulged in language so outspoken.

Grand Lodge. The annual meeting of the grand Orange Lodge of Western Ontario took place in the Town of Walkertown on Tuesday and Wed- nesday of last week, The attendance was unusually large and the proceedings of the most encouraging and satisfactory nature, The reports submitted by the several officers 'showed a most encouraging state of aftairs in every-thing bearing on the well being and extension of the order, The election of grand officers for the ensu- ing year resulted as follows.
