visit the House Of Parliament. with Mr.
Kinnaird, member from Perth. The new
buildings are ? perfect wilderness of Gothic
towers. ,groined ceilings. superb halls, liued
with marble statues of departed statesmen
and warriors. Millions ofmoney enough
to endow q school in every parish have
been lavishedaon this gorgeous edifice.

Commons, the elegantly dressed doorkeep-

was shown to scat in the small Speak
er's gallery. The hah is superb In sorna-
lment; ;sof eblong shape. with rows Of green
cushioned. benches on each side, and no
desks in front Of members. The Speaker
wears huge wig and gown. The mem-
! berss most outlandishly, wear their hats,

Iceedingly bad.spsI wast also surprised at
the tgouihful appearance of.imany Of the
House; at least . score of them~ seemed
like members of a senior class in college.
