The New Dominion Parliamentary,

The New Dominion Parliament-The
Repent OF the Tea and Coffee Duties.
In the New Dominion House Of Commons
on Tuesday night, as will be seen by o refer
ence to our news columns this morning, the
House, on the motion of Sir Francis Hincks,
went into committee on the resolution for the
repeal Of the duties on tea and coffee. The
purport Of the resolution was that oil tea and
coffee imported from any country other than
the United States should come in duty free,
but that similar duty should be charged on
those articles imported from the United States
las Americans imposed on tea and coffee i'm
ported from places other than countries Of its
production 1t is not to be denied that the
New Dominionites have perfect right to legis-
late in reasonable way, in their own interest,
and we cannot say that there is anything I'M
reasonable in the resolution of Sir Francis
Hincks. At the same time it is not to be de-
MED that the resolution is suggestive of retail
alton. Discriminating duties are always in
certain quarters offensive but as we ourselves
make discriminating duties in what we think
our interest, we have no cause Of complaint
with the Canadians on this head If there be
cause of complaint at all the blame lies at our
own door. Speaking for the opposition, Mr..
Mckenzie objected to the resolution on the
ground that it would be violation of treaty
obligations with the United States, according
y to which they were bound not to make any dis
eliminating duties in any case 1t was the
opinion of Mr.. Mckenzie that the resolution
was viStually an imposition of burdens on the
people, because but for the new arrangement
T. tea and coffee could be bought ct o cheaper
rate in the United States than the Canadians
themselves could import them. The objec-
tons of the opposition were satisfactorily dis
posed of and the resolution was carried II
remains to be seen how the new tariff arrange
ments in both countries will work, but we
must insist that Congress would have acted
more wisely if it had not imposed the ten pei
cent dues on all articles imported from coun-
: tries east of the Cape of Good Hope. In some
very important respects the Canadians have
now the advantage.

he brought it into play at the never-to-be-for-
gotten Charleston Convention of 1860
Douglas and his Northern friends went
down to that Convention with the fixed re-
solve of o settlement with the Southern pro-
slavery 6re-eaters, and they held their ground
under the advantages of the two-thirds
rule, to the disruption Of the Conven-
ton and the democratic party. And what
have been the consequences? Since that
disastrous day Of the revenge of Douglas
against his Southern pro-slavery prosecutors
the democratic party, expelled from the flesh

hered to its greatest blunder, and its latest

The "Liberal Cooper Institute Meet
Ing.

The meeting for which great prepara-
tions were made, through the press,
through personal effort, and through an
extensive advertisement of the fact that
the two leading men of the Liberal move
ment would be present to address the as
semblage, came off Friday evening at the
Cooper Institute in New York. Since it
has come and gone, and the country
kno ws what was said and done by the
men who composed it, its scope and eff
feet may easily be determined. Its OBJ
ject is well understood. The Liberal
movement, which has been nursed and
pushed by charges of corruption, investi-
cations and every form of political attack
upon the Administration known to old
politicians-gained no headway; it Ian
guished. The time for the Cincinnati
Convention rapidly approaches, and the
political doctors who had it in hand saw
that it would prove a wretched tidSco un-
less something of a sensational nature
could be brought about to rescue it from
impending collapse. The New York meet
ing was determined upon as its only hope
of salvation. The meeting bears all tle
marks of having been drummed up for a
specific personal purpose; and none of a
spontaneous gathering of the people in
lO5lOhoS w IhC NlClutCb VI all emergency.
In the list of names giyenof prominent gen
tlemen present, we find those politicians
merely; and of politicians who nave been
in office, or seeking office, all their lives
We look in vain among them for the
names of distinguished merchants and
business men, who would have been
prompted to attend political gathering
in times of anxiety and of danger to the
liberties OF the people, or peril to the in.
stitutions OF the country. 1t was en-
phatically a meeting of the "outs," who
look to an upheaval in politics to give
them place and power The conduct of
the meeting did not rise higher than the
office seeking procliyities Of the element
Of which it was composed. Col Conk-
ling, the presiding officer indulged in a
rhapsody over the extraordinary virtues of

whom were Representatives of the i'm

A Potato Story.

AND here let me tell potato, story
which is think, to the purpose, wherev-
er it is told. In the County of Mayo, a
gentleman by the name of Crofton is
landed proprietor, in whose neighborhood
great distress prevailed among the peas

when the potatoes of the last year We're
consumed, and before those of the present.
season were up. Mr.. Crofton, by liberal
donations on his own part, and by sub
scription which was set afoot among his
friends in England, as well as in Ireland,
was enabled to collect sum of money
sufficient to purchase meal for the peo.
pie, which was given TO them, or sold at
very low prices, until the pressure of
want was withdrawn, and the blessed po-
tato came in. Some time in October, a
small nights frost made Mr.. Crofton
think that it was time to take in and pit
his own patotoes, and he told his steward
to get laborers accordingly. Next day,
on going to the potato grounds, he found
the whole fields swarming with people;
the whole crop was out of the ground.
and again under it, pitted andcoyered, in,
few hours. 1t was as if the fairies we
read of in the Irish legends, as coming to
the aid of good people and helping them
in their lahors, had taken liking to this
good landlord and taken in his harvest
for him. Mr.. Crofton, who knew who
his helpers had been, sent the steward to
pay them their days wages, and TO thank
them, at the same time, for having come
to help him at time when their labor
was so useful to him. One and all re-
fused penny, and their spokesman said,
"They wished they could domore for the
likes of him or his family" have heard

Brazil is great country for oranges,
and the Brazilians know how to eat the
delicious fruit. To enjoy an orange thor
oughly, says one Of the newspaper CORE,
spondents in Professor Agassiz's present
expedition, you should eat in Brazilian
fashion; You slice a segment of the
flower end deep enough to go completely
through the skin; then replacing the seq
ment, thrust fork through it to the very
center of the orange, if the tines are
long enough. Holding the fork in your
left hand, peel the orange with very
sharp, small table-knife, slicing all the
skin off, the segment at the base Of the fork
being in this operation shield to prevent
any danger of cutting the left thumb.
Now, with two cuts of the knife dissect
out the pulp of one of the pockets and
convey it to the mouth. Follow this up,
pocket by pocket, and the skins of the
pocket remain on the fork, like the
leaves of book, open until the covers
touch.
