The ENTERPRISE OFFICE IN
EARLY DAYs.-In the good old days
the Enterprise published on the north
west corner of Sutton Avenue and A
street, in a very shakey one story
frame building. Here compositors,
editors, pressmen and all hands work

shed on the north side Of the building
in which were fitted up ''bunks,' one
above the other, as on shipboard, and
here slept editors, printers, carriers
and pretty much every body connect

Dominion Notes.

The Fredericton Farmer says there is a great
deal of destitution among the French people on
the New Brunswick side of the st. John river,
in Madawaslza. 1t is due to the fact that there
has been no market for cedar shingles.
The st John News complains of the "agen-
cy" business, by which it means those gentle
house to house.
The Quebec Chronicle thinks it very doubtful
f the Canadian railway schemes will be able TO
get much assistance in the London money mar
ket for many years to come. 1t thinks that the
only means of saving the amounts invested by
Dominion subsidies corporation grants and in
dividual subscriptions, is for the Dominion gov
ernment to guarantee the interest on limited
first mortgage, say $l0,0 900 q mile, which would
be sufficient to finish and equip several roads.
1t thinks it would be poor road indeed which
would not pay three per cent, on $4,000, when
the Grand Trunk pays about six per cent. on
$25,000 per mile.
Salmon is quoted in the markets of Halifax
at 40 and 80 cents pound.
A great falling off in sbipbuildng, compared
with last year, is reported in the vicinity of St.
John.
The St. John Telegraph says that the logs
are coming down Sin good style" 1t hears
that the bridge across the Aroostook river in
New Brunswick has been swept away.
The Montreal Gazette is responsible for a re-
markable story from Windsor, Can, to the eff
feet that very successful operation was per-
formed there on Wednesday last, ON q child
which had been born with two heads and lived
in apparent good health until that day, when
one of the heads died aud was amputated by
DR.. Nesbitt; and it is the opinion of the doctor
that the child will still live, Notwithstanding
that one of the heads has been separated from
it.
May 18th was the anniversary of the landing
of the loyalist5 at s.. John. They left the
United States becausos they reverenced the
British crown. The day was celebrated by the
firing of salute and display of flags, and a
spelling match in the evening by the members
of the Loyalist Society for gold pieces of SIS,
$40 and $50 The latter was won by Me. Hay
Of the News.
The ST. John Telegraph is inclined to be in-
disnant at the report that the engines of the
IntercolOnial Railroad are to be taken to Port
land to be cut down fo- the narrowed gauge. 1t
thinks the work Should be done at st. John,
and thus encourage Dominion industry.

Mrs. LINCOLN ADJUDGED INsANE.-In the
County Court at Chicago, Wednesday, the trial
of the question of the insanity of Mrs. Lin
coin, widow of Abraham Lincoln, came up
The proceedings were based on petition filed
by Robert f. Lincoln, setting forth that his
mother, Mary L. Lincoln, has property and
effects exceeding $4,000; that she is non COM
pos naentis and incapable of managing her es-
tate, and praying the issuance of an order for
a warrant and venire to test the question of
her sanity. The petition was accompanied by
certificate of the family physician, Dr. Ish-
am, to the effect that he had examined MIS-
Lincoln and was of the opinion that she was
insane and fit subject for hospital treatment
Several witnesses testified to eccentricties in
the conduct of Mrs. Lincoln, which commehc-
ed at the time of the assassination of President
Lincoln, aud which have become more marked
as time progressed. She imagnes that she
hears voices in the wall, that strange beings be-
set her in the entries of her hotel that she was
the victim of poisoning plots, ETC. Her closets
are full of unopened packages OF goods which
she had ordered sent to her room. After short
arguments the case was given to the jury, who
brought in a verdict in accordance with the
facts elected Mrs. Lincoln will be removed to
the hospital at Batavia, Ill. At the announce
ment of the verdict Robert Lincoln took the
hand of his mother, when she exclaimed with

THE London correspondent of the New
York Times says that the British House of
Commons has in recent years changed much
for the worse. The old standard of discipline
has greatly deteriorated. and a loose anarchy
has crept into the proceedings. Formerly the
House was very much in fear of the leaders
on each side, who were not at all in the mood
to tolerate any independent skirmishing on
the part of their followers, and who were as
one party in steadfast support of the mainte-
nance of order. If a private member was
rash enough to put himselfforward too promi-
nently, he was pretty certain to get snubbed
for it and there was a general agreement that
the proceedings should be conducted in the
same spirit as that in which gentlemen mix
together in private society. This restraint
has been gradually passing away. The
House of Commons is now socially very
mixed body, and there is tendency ON the
part of every man to think himself as good as
any other, and better, too. A soap-boiler or
a shoddy manufacturer, who has been the
cock of the walk in the local affairs OF the dis
trict, comes up TO Westminster, plants HIM
self as often as he can in front seat, and,
perhaps, assumes to appear on some question,
or set Of questions, as leader himself, whom

"CATH0LIC Unity is an innocent looking
phrase, but the demand for its restoration in
Spain meaEs the outlawry in that kingdom of
every other form of religious worship. Prac-
tically the restoration would be of but little
effect, for ProtestantS in Spain are as few as
the visits of angels. But the progressive
thinkers who framed the republican constitu-
tion demanded religious liberty as theoreti-
cal right, recognition of the spirit of the
age. As one of the liberal leaders expressed
it, 81 think it well enough to have this article
in the constitution, but cannot conceive of
Spaniard who shall not be Catholic" So
the system of religious federation was adopt
ed. The cabinet of the new king wisely adj
heres to the policy Of the republic. The
church appears to have made great mistake
in demanding barren concession, and DEM
onstrating that it wishes to prohibit that re-
ligious freedom in Spain which it pleads for
in Germany.

principles of the Republican party but with

his own leaders are to follow. Another
source of insubordination and disorder is to
be found in the new attitude of the Irish
members. In recent years they kept
on their good behavior because, under the in
fiuence OF the Liberal party, the general ten
dency of legislation was rather in their favor.
Since Mr.. Gladstone's startling outbreak
against what he calls Vaticanism, the alli-
ance between the Liberals and the Irish
members has been abruptly severed, and the
Home Rulers, as we'll as that class of Irish
members who are known as the ''POpe's
Brass Band" have, in fact, openly set them
selves to make as much mischief as possible
for the mere sake of obstructing business, and
trying to convince the House that there is no
chance of peace and quiet unless something is
done to conciliate and pacify them.
