canadian TROUBLES.

MONTREAL, August l9-Mr. Justice
Draper has refused to act on the Com
mission, and has been replaced by Judge
Gowan, warm friend of the Premier.
Mr.. Alex. Mackenzie, the leader OF
the opposition, has gone to the Marstime
provinces to stump tho country against
the government.
1t is stated on good authority that the
Pacific contract has been cancelled and
Sir Hugh thrown overheard. The rela.
tons between him and the ministry do
not appear to be Of the most cordial
kind. A good deal of speculation as to
what move viii be made by the Premier
is INDUCED In.

SOCIAL REFORM NEEDED.

The wiiewhippers are invited 10 read
the following eloquent extract from a
New York journal. 1t pictures a state
of semi barbaric society that needs re-
forming, and appeals powerfully to the
press aud the pulpit OF this as well as OF
other metropolitan cities; There is
nothing, not even the sack Of a stormed
city, which brings out the devilish and
animal parts of some mems nature as
the unchecked control Of another hui
man beings person and feelings does.
There are thousands Of poor women in
this city, without friends or hope in this
world, who have to listen every night to
the rawlings, and bear the fortunes Of
tyrannical beasts, compared to whom
Walworth was harmless, aud decent,
and merciful; and yet the world knows
nothing Of their sorrows, unless when,
now and then, some unlucky blow ter
inmates their misery and their life to-
gether, and thousands Of others pass
their lives in higher states Of the same
hell. What is the remedy for this state
of things, except .he general elevation
of human nature, it would be hard to
says. Legal remedies few people will
care to discuss, who seriously consider
the condition Of woman whose youth
and health have been passed in bearing
children, and has to face life without
heart, or hope, or training for any call
ing in which money may be made, and
whose nearest friend has turned into one
of those Gendish enemies by whom no
male human being is ever pursued in
civilized society"

while Morpheus woos him in every

IL England the speed attained on rail
ways is 'nuch greater than in the United
States. Many English engineers are OF
opinion that, in case Of an accident, the
speed at which the train is moving
amounts to nothing. 1t was, however,
an idea of Brunei, the famous civil engi-
neer, that one rate Of speed on a railroad
was as safe as another. In answer to a
committee of Parliament, who ques-
toned him on that point, he replied: III
a train runs Of the track while going at
the rate of twenty miles an hour the pas
seugers will all go to the devil, and if it
runs off the track while travelling at the
rate of fifty miles an hour they can't well

Life is made up of little things. The
greater misfortune troubles us least. A
man will generally show more of his
evil nature at the absence of button off
his shirt-bosom than at the loss of his
finest horse, and will probably endure it
less manfully. The field of experience
is broad, and covers the world; but the
most severe test greets us first, and hap
py is he who can achieve the mastery
over the things which are small, for he
is then sure of the mastery over him
self.

and has finally disappeared under the

About one hundred young girls in the
criminal reformatory near Bath, Eng
land, rose in open mutiny recently, on
account of their dislike for a new laun'
dry matron. They broke the Windows
Of the laundry, scaled the walls outside,
and barricaded themselves in a room.
Their conduct was so violent and tiger
ish that the police had to be sent for
from Bath and Bradford to break down
the barricade and take them into Gus
tody.
