a The scheme of confederation adopted by the
delegates to the Canadian Conference I can
not give in detail. Its outline is as follows
A general government with its seat at Otta-
was presided over by an Executive Chief ap
pointed by and representing the permanent
sopereiqfttg of the Queen aud her successors
on the British throne. The legislature to have
an upper House of76 members, appointed for
4te, and distributed little more than one
laird to the maritime provinces, and the rest
divided equally betwixt the two Canadas; and
lower House based upon population; the
departments OF federal and provincial legisla-
ton assigned and limited somewhat as under
our Constitution, but the federal legislature
to have veto upon the legislation of each
province and the sovereign veto upon that
OF the Confederation. Besides this the public
works, railroads, &C., including the inter-coLo-
n'dt and that connecting with our system Of
railroads are to be assumed by the oepor.,
government. -efsE
In this vince the party in power. here.o
fore regarded as the liberal party, were com.
mitted by the action of its leaders to this
scheme; all the prominent men of the late op
position favored it; the entire press with the
exception of two papers advocated it. When
we remember that measures are carried here
by names and influences far more than with
US, where they are made to stand upon their
merits, the wonder is that this project which
seems to lie in the very direction of the nat.on-
al feeling and national ambition should have
been SO hopelessly defeated by the electors.
H. Various causes have contributed to the
result. The conservative influences, the men
OF wealth, the members of old families rejected

INITIATING FENIAN-Just after the
matinee at Maguire's Opera House, Saturday
afternoon, an lrishman named Felix Magee
entered the Snug" saloon, adjoining the
theatre, and enquired for Tim Mccarthy.
proprietor Of the saloon Tim was on hand
and asked Felix his business. Il heard YOU

hood. y says Felix, land | come to see if We
wud initiate me-" Charley Thorne and
several other actors were in the salooon ::
they gave the wink to Tim. and the party
resolved t. have so re sport at Felix's ex
nense. " am the Head Center" says
lin, = and will initiate YOU at once" All
hands then adjourned to the stage of the
theater, and the solemn ceremonies began
The stage was dimly lighted and presented
wierd and ghostly appearance. Felix was
undaunted, however. and stepped upon the
boards. Charley Thorne, who occupied
huge chair on the stage, as nitator. direct
ed him to stand on certain spct, which was
directly over a trap door; the place where
the ghost of the murdered King of Denmark
had often disappeared, and the CORY body of
the COrsican Brother had rose in awful
majesty before thrilled assemblages. When
Felix took his post on Charley Thorne pro
nounced some horrible incantation blue
lights blazed from unseen places; gong
was sounded loudly a pistol fired close to
his ear, and at a given signal. the trap was
sprung. Down went Felix under the stage,
- lost to sight though to memory dear. =
He came up again. and was then laid length
wise on his back on large trap. Once
more the blue lights blazed. the gong sound
ed the pistol fired, and Felix disappeared
for the second time. \ coffin was SO arrang
ed that he Landed face to face with it. There
was grnning skeleton in the coffin, hold
ing a candle in It's hand, reminding Felix,
doubtless of that scene which met the gaze
of Tam O'Shanter by "Alloway's auid
haunted kirk, wnen
@ Coffins stood around like open presses,
Showing the dead in their last dresses
And. by some devish cantrap sleight,
Each in its caud hand held light.
The scene rather staggered Felix, his hair
standing out = like quilts upon the frettul
pnrcupine; - but he uttered no word of com
plant; others bad been = initiated" and he
would lie, though a thousand skeletons
should glare and gibber at him. Felix
crawlei up again from under the stage, was
asked a number of questions by Charley
Th0rne, when he was once more hurled
beneath the stage aud left in total darkness
The crowd that was witnessing the initiatory
ceremonies withdrew from the theater. and
Felix had to grope his way out alone. When
he finally emerged into the street, he told
the boys that the ceremony was d d
rough and horrible one. but he was willing
to suffer even more than that for his country.
