A Rich Scene.

In the Canadian House Of semblY, somt
time since, they rad quite a spirited debate
on the bill to prohibit the use of hoops and
crinoline, introduced by Mr.. Aikeus. We
publish few of the most brilliant passa-
ges:
Mr.. Drumm0nd was an ardent admirer oI
hoops from childhood. He was born with a
love of hoops When he was achild of ten
der growth, he used to trundle hoop, all un-
conscious Of the fate that was in store for him.
Later in life he swallowed a ring, which re-
suited in hopping cough and even now the
sight ofan empty hogshead brought tears in
to his eyes
Mr.. Brown complained that it was impos-
sible to choose a wife, since her defects were

Mr.. Brown-In the name of the seventeen

mace. Consider the improperly Of
Brown (wildly)-TruthI truth truth!-I
Naked truth was what I was going to say.
Mr.. Dunbar Ross understood his honorable
friend could not pass along the streets with
out being assaulted by higEwaymen. Now,
surely, the honorable member from Lake On
tario could not but be aware that the charac-
ter Of every member of the House was affect
ed by such dam
Mr. Talbot objected to such unpaltiamen-
tary language.
Mr.. Ross protested against Interruption

Mr.. J. Cameron-The honorable member

Mr.. Wright stood up and moved, amidst
the widest confusion, that Mr.. Ross be ex-
PEELED from the House for such awful Ian

Mr.. Ross (blacIs in the iace) exclaimed that

TIE LADY's FRIEND.-We learn from the
November number Of this New Magazine of
Fashion and Literature, that it has already
attained a large circulation. The aim Of its
publishers is to rival the three dollar maga-
zines in the quality OF their engravings and
contents Thus it has given during the pres
ent year, in every number, finely engraved
and colored Double Fashion Plate, while its
other numerous engravings are of the best
quality. The long and brilliant array Of the
literary contributors to The Lady's Friend,
nearly all of whom are lady's,is highly credit
able to the Magazine, and also to the coun-
try, as showing how large and cultivated
class Of lady writers it possesses. Many may
wonder hew any magazine can be got up in
50 handsome and lavish a manner as this is, at
the low price of $3.50, saying nothing of the
reduced rates to clubs. The publishers say.
that it is only done by having very large
circulation, as money would certainly be lost
on a small edition.
We have scarcely left ourselves room TO

briefly state that there is beautiful and
touching steel engraving, called ''The Empty

4 Smoking Machine.

TIE Salem Gazette describes a curious
piece of mechanism invented in that city. at
consists of the figure Of a man seated in a
common chair and holding a cigar in his
mouth. By winding up weight, and thus
setting in motion an ingenious piece of ma
chinery, the cigar, when lighted, and also the
mouth of the figure, are made at regular in
tervals, to emit q steady stream Of smoke, in
terspersed with pufs that a professional smok-
er could not excel. Ry this process a cigar
will be smoked up as quickly and naturally
as living man could DO it This is by far
the most sensible method Of disnosing Of the
weed that has come to our knowledge. We
recommend its universal adoption in place Of
the human machine.

The Fraud Contaminated.

On the 10th of this month the Kansas
Legislature sold the people of Kansas to
Thomas Carney, by going through the forr
of electing him United States Senator.
We presume all those who favored the
election have made enough to enable them
TO retire to private life, as they certainly
are doomed to obscurity and political death
The people Of Kansas are jealous Of their
rights, and for this high handed outrage
and betrayal Of their confidence, the ac-
tors will be dropped from political notice
and voted to stay at home hereafter.
Hon. J. D. Brumbaugh opposed the
measure to the last, and his constituents
will remember him as man that cannot be
bought by political tricksters. Whils 9TH
ers were falling before the deadly volley Of
gresn-backs, he might have exclaimed,
sCome one, come all, this rock shall fly
From its firm base as soon as I!''
The people hcror him for his manly
course. Another November an outraged
constituency will roll up such rebuks to
the present action of the Legislature as
will make Gov. Carney think that bought
up Legislature cannot secure him peace
able seat in the United States Senate.

Much complaint is heard from certain

First, The Pay Rolls do not get into the

or six months after their date, ard often ten
or twelve months after the death Of the
soldier. Secondly, The enormous increase
Of our army has crowded into the Second
Auditors Bureau tons upon tens, actually
tons Of army pay accounts, many OF them
made out by paymas,ers appointed under a
pressing necessity and who were utterly
incompetent. Now to prevent the greatest
frauds, such as we're practiced on the Gov
