The Globe last night announced, as if it knew all about it before, and so ought all its contemporaries, that Lord Cairns was to hold office until Easter. So the evil day, the time when the division in the party will have to be healed or made more apparent, is put off. The Globe notices with some hauteur the comments which have been made on this subject. "We Conservatives," it says, " are not much disturbed, as we have said once or twice, by the kind anxiety of our opponents to settle our affairs for us, and can rest content in the posses sion of knowledge that a worthy successor to our present chief in the Upper House will come forward in good time." TIII JUDICIAL POWER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS, The Government has evidently been considering judicial reforms. The other day the rumour was that the Privy Council was to be rearranged ; to-day the story relates to the House of Lords as a judicial tribunal. The former question is difficult enough, but the latter is most definitely so, as any attempt to arrange the Upper House will probably be made a party question—suggested reforms will be interpreted as proposals to over throw the Constitution. The Scotsman tells us however, that a trial at reform will be made, but in what particular way does not inform us. Life peers were rejected some years ago by the Earl of Derby and his party, and thrown out last year. What other mode romans without practically depriving the Lords of their judicial functions it is hard to guess. SrU J. PAXINGTON AND MB. FORSTER. Sir John Pakington presided over a meeting of the Scholastic Registration Society held in London on Tuesday in support of Mr. Forster's second En dowed Schools Bill. Sir John has on a former occa sion publicly declared his confidence in the Vice-President of the Committee of Council. His co-operation with the Liberal Minister is noticeable for its disinterestedness and public spirit. The Conservative leader ex pressed his full approval of the Educational Council Bill, as the measure in question is called. He could listen, he said, to no party views as to which side of the House the measure came from when he saw that in a spirit of earnestness and sincerity the Educational Department proposed to deal with that most crying evil and scandal—the extent to which valuable endowments had been allowed to lapse into a condition of worse than uselessness. The committee of which he was a member had de cided to divide the original bill into two parts, one of which had become law, and another had been post poned. But Sir John expressed a hope that it was only postponed, and that it would soon become the law of the land. The measure provides for the registrationof teachers, the extending of examination to all endowed schools, and the registration and examination of such private schools as may be willing to come within the action of the Bill. In all these respects it has Sir John Pakington's support. The meeting passed several resolutions touching the Bill, in particular one in favour of permitting teachers' representatives, elected by their own body, to sit on the proposed Educational Council. MR. LEATHAM AND COLONEL AKBOYD •ON EDU CATION. Mr. Leatham and Colonel Akroyd, M.P's., ad dressed the members of the Halifax Mechanics' Institute on Education, ,at their annual soiree. Mr. Leatham dwelt on the futile nature of the pro mises made some thirty years ago,. that it was natural and easy to make a law which would render all the children wise, clever, and moral in spite of themselves and those antiquated pig-headedold parties, their parents, and that when this desir able state of things had been brought about, they might set to work pulling down the workhouses and prisons until the only gaoler left should be the schoolmaster. The honourable member then asked how many gaols they had pulled down ; and expressed his opinion, while he did not wish to undervalue the services of the clergy men of the Church of England, that their ruling motive in their exertions on behalf of educa cation had been the furtherance of denomina tional purposes. He condemned the compulsory system, because it " sought to introduce into this country the odious Continental plan, which made no man's house his castle, and planted a spy upon every hearth." He believed that the gigantic force of the working men's examplewould do that which no clamour of leagues could shake, and, without listening to a single creed, make education free and universal. Colonel Akroyd said he did not see how education could be carried on without religious and moral cul ture. He thought mechanics' institutes were not for primary but secondary education. PROFESSOR ROGERS ON EDUCATION. Professor Thorold Rogers has no sympathy what ever with the supporters of sectarian education. lie almost seems to despise them. Any way he would have the framers of educational bills hold aloof from them and their principles. Speaking at Dundee this week, he first declared that education was necessary, the State must enforce it, and must provide it free. As to the religious difficulty, " It was impossible not to look with indignation on the numerous petty sects refusing to allow the people to. be educated, because they, the sects, could not agree about the funda mental principles of religion." He stated also that the schools in our country had been esta blished by individuals for the purpose of inculcating religious dogma. Mr. Rogers here states a truth in a way which makes it tell in his behalf. If he had said that, believing eternity to be the main thought of life, and a preparation for it the object of existence here, the great majority of educa tionists had looked upon secular learning as only a means to facilitate the thinking and aid the prepara tion ;—if Mr. Rogers had said this he would not have found his hearers so ready with their indignation as they seem to have been. MR. ODGER. There can be no doubt, it seems, of Mr. Odger's claim to rank as an actual working man, and not merely a representative of the artisan class. It has been said that he employed hands, and derived an income of £3OO a year from his business. This, as was explained at en Odgerite meeting just held, is erroneous. Mr. Odger's son has a shoemaker's shop, and he himself rents the house. THE COLENSO CASE AGAIN. The case of Dr. Colenso is, the Church Herald states, a„crain to be raised in our courts—this time by Bishop Colenso himself. lle appeals to the Crown against the consecration of the Bishop of Maritzburg. By this new trial the question will be decided, which is the schismatic, the Bishop of Natal or Mr. Mac rorie. Party feeling is running very high in the diocese. CHURCH REORGANISATION IN IRELAND. The diocese of Down, Connor, and Dromore is getting on rapidly with the practical work of reor ganising the Irish Church. The diocesan synod has assembled, its discussions have been carried on with exemplary moderation, and much real business has been got through. A. resolution has been passed, that the synod shall consist of three orders—bishops, clergy, and laity—who shall vote by orders. In case the bishops dissent from the other two orders, action is to be suspended till the next meeting, when, if the motion is affirmed by two-thirds of the other two orders, it shall be submitted to the bench for their final decision. It has been agreed that the power of selecting a clergyman for a benefice is to be vested in the diocesan board, with appeal to the bench of bishops if the bishop of the diocese re fuse to confirm the appointment. REPEAL OF THE UNION. The resolution favouring the repeal of the union between Great Britain and Ireland, which was re cently proposed to the North Dublin Poor-law Board, has been warmly taken up by the corpora tion. Both parties, for the Dublin municipal government sharply preserves the distinction of Liberal and Conservative, were enthusiastic on behalf of this patriotic procedure. The moment ous question was first popped to the Poor-law Board by a Conservative guardian. This gentleman was eulogised at the Corporation debate as a high minded man who had " risen grandly to the occa sion" after " flinging aside many per ha p s embarrassin g traditions." The motion in favour of repeal was pro posed by Mr. Sullivan, and second ed b y Alderman Manning, a Conservative. An advanced Liberal gave his support to the proposition. Alderman Plunkett, a Nationalist, charged the Whigs with inflicting great evil upon the country. A good deal was said about the necessity of a royal residence, and some who declared strongly in favour of more attention from the Crown did not advocate repeal. But, on the whole, Liberals and Conservatives buried all dif ferences and discussed the matter with a harmony that men on this side of the Irish Sea may well envy The resolution was passed. • STHE cONTAGIOUS,DI EASES ACTS.

The Ministry has, it is rumoured, determined to bring in a bill rendering all Government property rateable. The announcement will cause the sincerest satisfaction in all districts where Government works aro located. And with reason ; for the measure will in many places materiall y reduce the poors ra t e . Th e exempiion which has hitherto been claimed on behalf or State property is, in fact, a tribute levied for - the whole nation on a few. Such an arrange ment is obviously unfair. Government works are not always blessings so great that those districts which contain them should have to pay for them. If the State becomes a holder of properly it should take upon itself all the duties of that position. Other wise the few pay for the many. THE CASE OF MR. MUNZINGER. Further testimony is tendered from auti oritativo sources respecting the great services rendered to the Abyssinian expedition by Mr. Munzinger, late British Consul at Massowah, and of the injustice of permit ting him to remain in his present state of distress. Mr. Munzinger was of exceptional use to the Abys sinian field force, but he not only received no compen sation for this extra labour, but has actually lost his consulship at Massowah. One gentleman, who was connected with the expedition from first to last, says :—" M. Munzinger was the medium of com munication with the captives during the whole of their detention by Theodore, and his knowledge of the country (after a residence of some fourteen years), its people and their dialects, was, as may be supposed, of the greatest use to the pioneers of our army and those who planned the campaign." Considering that Mr. Munzinger is a good geographer, is well ac quainted with the three Abyssinian dialects, besides Persian and Arabic, and five European languages, it will be strange, indeed, if some suitable post cannot be found for him. THE OLD STORY. The loss of the King Lear—the crew of which ex perienced such dreadful sufferings on a raft—is an other example of the difficulty or impossibility of getting people to take systematic and continuous security against danger. When the unhappy crew sought the boats, it was found that two of them were out of repair, and the third was inextricably entangled in the wreck. Thirty-five lives were lost, and the surviving four seamen were only saved after enduring great privation. It is the old story. The boats were pro vided as a refuge, but they had never been needed, and, accordingly, no one thought of keeping them in readiness. It is true that one was entangled in the wreck, but the remaining two were not, and one of them might have saved a great part of the crew. COLLIERY WINDING ROPES. It is noticeable that two accidents have occurred within a month at the Dowlais Iron Company's collieries. In each case the disaster was caused by the breaking of the winding rope and on each occasion the results were fatal. There are many dangers attendant upon coal mines which it seems impossible to obviate altogether, or even reduce to a minimum. But is the breaking of winding ropes one of these all but insuper able difficulties r Is it indispensable that every now and then a party of men, in pursuit of their daily bread, should be dashed two Or three hundred yards clown the shaft of a coal mine P It is well known that various contrivances called safety cages have been designed for the express purpose of ren dering the breakage of these ropes harmless. Some inventions of the kind have received high praise. Let it, then, be determined whether such contriv ances are really likely to prove effective and, if so, there ought to be no muddling delay in their adop tion. ARMORIAL BEARINGS. Mr. Lowe's determination to be very strict in gathering the taxes, has raised a variety of questions. Amongst other things attributed to him was one to the effect that he would keep a strict look out upon tradesmen's bill-heads ; and if they used the Royal Arms or device of any kind he would be down upon them for the Excise tax on armorial bearings. Ono tradesman has been so alarmed that he has written to the Chancellor of the Exchequer asking whether the news is true. The reply is re-assuring. "If the use of these devices be strictly confined to trade purposes the Board will not insist upon the party taking out a licence to use armorial bearings in respect of such uses only. It is to be understood, however, that if any devicas of the character in question be used on private address cards, on letter paper for general correspondence, or in any manner apart from trade purposes, licences to use armorial bearings must be taken out." Bill heads suggest tax-papers. Somebody asks why the Govern ment does not let out its tax-papers for advertise ments. A good revenue might be got in this way. Why does not Mr. Lowe try it ? WOMAN'S RIGHTS. Those persons who uphold the equality of the sexes theory may find an excellent argument in their favour in - a story,which comes from the Far West. In April, 1607, a family of seven daughters, with an invalid father and an invalid mother, settled on a farm in Minnesota. The ground was a rude and uncleared plot. Tho sisters, however, set to work and did a ll th e clear ing, fencing, sowing and cultivating with their own hands. With the exception of rail-splitting and ploughing the cleared land, the seven women accomplished everything themselves. Their reward was proportionate. Of last year's crop they managed, after providing for their own consumption, to sell 900 bushels of potatoes, 500 bushels of corn, 200 bushels of wheat, 250 bushels of turnips, 200 bushels of beet, 1,100 heads of cabbage, and over 200 dollars' worth of garden stuff. Nor are the witching seven of the rough semi-man type. They have received a good educa tion, and, in addition to their arduous labours, find time to read books and papers. "We are too poor," says the mother, "to get on together and live in a town, but here we have become more comfortable and independent." STOPPING RAILWAY TRAINS. A corespondent of the Times calls attention to an invention, now in almost universal use in Franco and Germany, for diminishing the speed of trains or stopping them altogether. It is a simple contrivance, by which the locomotive itself is worked inversely, and is thus constituted a most powerful break. Tfie system is known as " Le Chatellier's counter-pressure steam-break," and is an unpatented gift to the public. The effect of using the counter-pressure steam-break may be roughly judged of by the fact that each pair of driving-wheels of the locomotive worked under counter-pressure gives a stopping resistance equivalent to the full effect of a loaded break-van. But the simple mechanical effect does not represent the efficiency of this system for preventing collisions. The power is in the hands of the driver of the locomotive himself. He has not to depend on his whistle to call the attention of the breaks men for power to reduce his speed. He has not, on account of possible inconvenience from whistling without good cause, to hesitate. Three or four seconds suffice to put the machinery in motion. For use on steep inclines, and above all for diminishing the speed of trains which are threatening each other with a collision, such an apparatus must be very valuable. SETTLEMENT OF EUROPEANS IN INDIA. Now that the question of emigration is uppermost in the public mind, any information shewmg the re sources of England in this respect cannot fail to be of general interest. Dr. A. Graham has read a paper before the Council of the East India Association, on " The Industrial Settlement of Europeans in the Hill Climates of India," in which he endeavoured to remove the general prejudices that exist on the sub ject. He said it had been objected thatthe settlement of European artisans would be injurious to the natives, would be calculated to induce constant warfare aniolig them, and would prove both difficult and expensive to the Government. In answer to this, he instanced various outlying localities adapted for colonisation whore coal was plentiful, but where there were no intelligent borers or miners to make its working pro fitable. Having pointed out that unless our own artisans were encouraged to settle in such districts, the great vegetable and mineral wealth of the mountainous ranges might tempt French and i.terman colonists to corm settlements alien to the British, he chewed that the stated effects of climate upon Europeans had been much exaggerated. A discussion followed, in which it was contended that the time had now arrived for the appointment of a Parliamentary Committee to investigate the whole subject. !ADVERTISEMENT.
