1t is impossible for the children to have handsome

important that parents should use every possible

Opening 0fthe Qaebec Parliament.
QUEBEC, Nov. 4.-The Parliament OF The
Province of Quebec opened to-day with the
usual formaiities. The Lieutenant ntGovernor in
a speech alluded to the liberal grants which had
been made towards the educational aud charit-
able institutions, public works, coloniza-
ton and immigration, and also the
aid to new railroads, the gratifying results from
which are an encouragement to persevere in the
extensions and explorations which had taken
place, developing large tracts of timber land,
which were being settled and opened to trade.
Measures have been taken to stimulate immi-
grafton and also for the return of our fellow
countrymen from the United States.
He spoke in strong terms about the arbitra-
ton for q settlement of the relative debts of the
Provinces, rendered necessary by the confedera-
ton. He protested against the continued sit
ting Of the board after the withdrawal of the
Quebec arbitrator, and characterized the
reeults arrived at as illegal and unjust. Not
withstanding the heavy drain on the exchequeI
for public works, balance remains larger than
last year. Large grants have been made tc

BERLIN, Nov. 4.-The North German Gazette
of to-day says that before the capitulation of

because If they were surrendered to the Prus-
slams they would be restored at the close of the

He said he could not understand why q
foreign candidate was proposed when there
was plenty of good material in their own

Senior Agnete affirmed boldly that he would
not sustain any foreign candidate.
Diverse opinions were expressed by members
present, and no decision was arrived at

A NEW JERSEY TRAGEDY.

Murder ef nm Old Man by his Young WIFE,
Her sutcide-ImDlicatton OF her son.
Afearful tragedy has been enacted In Montville
township, Morris county, New Jersey. Henry
Miller, highly-respected farmer of the VIII
lage of Taylortown, of the above-named town
ship, went on Wednesday morning last to his
work in the woods, taking with him, as was
his usual custom, his dinner in q small pail.
While eating his dinner, atnoon, and shortly after
he had swallowed only few mouthfuls, he be-
came sick, and noticed peculiar and unplea-
SAINT taste in his food. He therefore gave the
rest of it to his dog which had accompanied
him, but before the animal had had time to de-
vour 1t all, he, too, was taken sick, aud in less
than five minutes was dead. Mr.. Miller OBJ
tanned passing assistance, aud was carried home.
On arriving at his house Mrs. Miller, who is his
second wife, and is still quite young seemed to
feel much more sorrow over the death of the
dog than at the dangerous condition of her hus-
band. Mr.. Miller fingered till the evening, when
he died. Several of the medical men of the
neighborhood were summoned, and the body of
the dog was opened. Traces of arsenic in large
quantities were at once found.
The woman who all the time of the iuvesti-
cation had been an apparently uninterested
spectator, was then observed to go to the cup-
board of the room and to take out piece of
bread and butter, which she ate. She was soon
seized with fearful pains and spasms, and be-
came insensible. She died at o'clock the next
morning. 1t then became plain that she had
herself placed the poison In her husbands food,
and had, when the finger of suspicion began to
point toward her, committed suicide. Her mo-
tive seems to have been to obtain possession of
the old mans farm for herself and the children
of her first husband.
coroner's inquest was Immediately held,
when it was elected that one of Mrs. Millers
sons, young man residing in the western part
| of New York State, had, while on visit to his
mother a few days ago, purchased from neigh
| boring druggist two ounces of arsenic. Part of
| the poison was found in the CUPBOARD. Officers
were Immediately sent to secure his arrest. The
excitement in the peaceful neighborhood is
intense. The inquest will be continued to-day.

Daniel Sullivan, the Oldest letter-carrier in
the United States, was recently compelled to
resign his post at Rochester in consequence of
failing health.
October is reported to have been an un-
usually healthy month at Springfield, Mass,
someH twenty deaths only having occurred
against forty seven for the corresponding month
of last year.
"A wealthy old miser recently starved him
self to death at Chicago. He had lived for
years on rotten fruit, decayed vegetables, putrid
meat, and stale bread. His death finally re-
suited from strangulation and gangrene of the
intestines.
The greatest difficulty now experienced by
the Louisiana planters seems to be in procuring
hands. The New Orleans Times says there
never was a more favorable season, never more
cotton ready to be picked, and never more
trouble to induce the negroes to turn out aud
gather the feecy wealth" cotton factor who
recently returned to the Crescent City from Ar
kansas reports that the fields in every direction
have the appearance of the Northern prairies
after heavy fall of snow. The reluctance of
the hands to turn out and pick is ascribed to
the low price of cotton. They have generally
got in debt to the extent of their shares In the
crop, and imagine that any further labor on
their part will be for the benefit of their ere
ditoR.
