BABY FARMING AT BRLXTON.

Two more of the nine unowned infante found on the

of Mies Cowan's child was extended to admit of these

emaciated, and in • lethargic state from • narootair
For a time it rallied when given breast milk, but never
floored. Its general weakness was each that it
amid not continue snaking, and it died on the
24th of June. Death, arose from want of imitable
food eufficiently early aggravated by the adminis-
tration of a narcotic. DT. Pope 0011.:1117101. As to
the other two children, numbered 6 and 8 bonus,

Sir Walter Scott sompares the work of a
novelist, in looking after his characters and
bringing them Successfully forward in the plot of
a story, to the task of • drover taking pigs to
market ; but the simile is still more applicable
to a Government passing its sessional programme
of legislation through Parliament, especially
when it has to deal at one time with such big,
unruly, end obstinate pigs as au Irish Land Bill,
an Elementary Education Bill, a University
Testa Bill, and a Ballot Sill. To keep this great
pig from lagging, that one from straggling, and
a third from bolting ahead, while still having to
look after a lot of little ones that may be easily
lost sight of in hedges and ditches, ii a compli-
cated and arduous labour. The Land pig and
the Education pig have been very tiresome
creatures, and have given their drivers a great
deal of trouble; but they are both well advanced
now ; for though the former has strayed a little '
in the House of Lords, and the latter has lagged
behind in the Commons, one will be brought
into the track again without much trouble, and
the other is now jogging on at a good pace. So
the Government buds a little time to devote to its
Testa Bill, and will doubtless soon be bringing
the Ballet Bill to the front. The great struggle
will be to drive a lot of these big animals, to-
gether with a lot of little ones, almost simul-
taneously through the House of Lords; and if
the teak issehle v vd„we may give Mr. Gladstone's
Ministry credit for as much skill as industry.
Lord Clarendon was buried on Saturday, and
another has taken his place in the Cabinet. The '
departed Statesman is succeeded at the Foreign
Office by Earl Granville, the affable; Lord
Kimberly goes to the Colonial Office. and Lord
Halifax returns to official life as Privy Seal.
Mr. Forster, who is too busy with the Education
Bill, to be granted the natural gratification of
being Colonial Minister, is given a seat in the
Cabinet.

Leave has been given to Lord Bandon to
bring in a very important Bill for the constitu-
tion of Parochial Councils. The object of this
is to give the laity a greater ahare in the manage-
ment of Church affairs. Mr. Gladstone compli-
mented Lord Bandon on the cordiality with
which his motion was received.

Respecting the awful railway accident at
Newark, the jury have returned the verdict
which every one anticipated, for there never was
an event to which the word "accident," as
technically employed, is more completely ap-
plicable. The breakage of a single axle, at a
particular moment of time, was the cause of the
awful catastrophe, and the result of the inquiry
simply deprives us of that comforting faith we
used to repose in the musical tapping of the
ironwork of our carriages during various stop-
pages ea route. The one suggestion thrown out
for future guidance is that every axle should be
put under a ban of suspicion as soon as it has
done a certain amount of work. But authorities
are somewhat in conflict as to the wisdom of such
a course. An axle that has long worked well
is, in the opinion of some engineers, presumably
better than one which is DOW and untried.
The Ritual Commissioners are said to have
settled their final report on the 28th ult. ; but
it will not be printed until the schedule has been
collated with the Id.B. Prayer Book in the
House of Lords library. By the opposite schools
of churchmen the report is awaited with great
interest.

The " baby-farminir scandal has exposed
details which are painful beyond description.
If searching enquiry be made by the light of these
sad revelations, there is little doubt that
systematic infanticide will be found to have
increased fearfully of late, and the "farming"
system is simply the supply which follows the
demand. The question which the statesman,
the philanthropist, the nation, and the Church
may ask is, What is the cause
The great "Cardiff abduction Case," Lyons
e. Thomas, has been at length decided before
the Queen's Bench, and judgment given few the
defendants, the Court ruling that there was no
sufficient evidence of "enticement." The
father, a Jew, accused the defendanta, a Baptist
minister and his wife, of inducing his daughter,
aged 18, to leave his house, and become
Christian.
