BEACONsFIELD AND COMMONS.

Lord Beaconsfeld's financial measures nave
been as spiritless as his foreign policy has
been spirited He has not had the courage 10
face the figures and settle the score, but has
shirked the responsibility of public reckon
ing. Yet a resolution of censure is voted
down by a majority of IS. The policy
of postponing indefinitely the payment
of current liabilities has been con-
demned by Conservative leaders as
unwise and unnecessary, but the Ministry
instead of losing ground have gained thirteen
votes since the division on the Zulu ques-
ton. Mr.. Gladstone has not flnched from
his convictions, and even Mr. Goschen,
whose Liberalism has been somewhat I'M
certain of late, has denounced the shift
lessness of the budget. The Commons,
however, seem to be bent upon meet
ing the Premier more than half way when
ever he sets his face in the direction OF un-
tried and dangerous paths.
No Cabinet in England has of late years
been so strongly intrenched in Office as Lord
BeacOnsGeld's. The Commons were elected on
an issue that has passed out OF sight. and yet
have allowed the Premier and his Cabinet to
strain the war-makng and treaty-maklDg pow
ers, and to decide Off-hand momentOus ques-
tons of foreign policy. The majority
has been vOting-machine that mas
registered the purposes of the Government
while the people have been powerless to con-
troll legislation or to direct public policy.
Sturdy John Bright goes to the root OF the
evil when he demands the repeal of the Sep
tennial Act The maximum period of the
elective house in Great Britain is five years
longer than that of the American House OF
Representatives. Macaulay demonstrated that
the voting constituencies ought to be faced
oftener than once IN seven years. All sober
minded Englishmen now admit that he was
right.

somewhat unde. Mr. Tilden's influence, but
draws the line at David Dudley Field.
General Hazen himself appeared as a wit
ness in the court-martial yesterday, and gave
some very interesting and important testi-
mony. He explained his separation from his
command at the battle of Shiloh, upon which
Army eossips have placed such an unfavor-
able construction, declaring that 1t was at
first due to a disabled horse, and that he had
then become bewildered in the thick woods.
There were many other points of interest in
the evidence. With this the Government
closed its rebuttal, and the court-maItial ad-
iourned over several days. after which the
arguments Of counsel will begin.
The veto by Governor Robinson of the Code
of Civil Procedure and the Civil Code breaks
ND the compact that had been made, according
to common report, by which Mr.. David Dud-
lev Field was to do the law making of gen
Grafton in a fortnight, and leaves the
former code for still another year, per-
haps, in its present incomplete shape.
There is some talk of passing the nine
chapters over the Governors veto, but
there may be difficulty in overriding his OBJ
iect1ons on any but a political question. One
of the least agreeable features of the situation
ia the fact that those who would willingly
have seen the nine chapters pass into law are
compelled to admit the truth of much that
the Governor says Of the methods of legisla-
ton on this subject

desire to represent the wishes of the people of

Mirage on Lake Erie.

A singularly beautiful mirage was Yisi-
ble in town last Friday. Shortly after 10
o'clock Mr.. John Cook chanced to look in
southern direction from his house, at
the corner of Wellington and Railway
streets, and saw Lake Erie spread before
hIm with all the distinctness of reality
After looking for few minutes he called
Mrs. Cook and his mother-in-law to wit
ness the scene. They were subsequently
joined by Mr.. Rathbon, builder, and by
Mr.. Sexton. The whole party could see
the lake as if it were only a few rods of; /;
and the waves rolling in regular succession
toward the shore. Three steamers were
speeding toward the east, the smoke from
their tunnels streaming behind them while
a couple of vessels under sail were purSu-
ing their steady course. They could See
the lay Of the land for a considerable dis
tance along the coast, but it seemed as if
some banks interviewed to prevent a view
OF Port Stanley. The opposite coast of
America was so visible that they could
perceiYe the indentations and formations
Of the shore, the very trees, and town
away to southeastward, the buildings Of
which were plainly discernible. Mr.. Cook
was of the opinion that the town was Ash
tabula The meridian sun was shining
brightly all this time, and an opaque cloud
fringed with pink stretched along the south
ern sky from east to west. Under this
cloud the mirage appeared, and after some
time presenting the scene described. faded
and gradually dissolved away in the di-
rection of Buffalo.-St. Thomas Journal.

ABear's Appetite,

A hear has an appetite very similar to
that of goat. On board of the United
States man of-war Alaska, there was a
bear cub which was obtained at Stka by
an ensign, and which is the pet of the
ship. 1t is a very playful and sociable
animal. climbs to the main-top when so
minded, and roves in freedom throughout
every part of the ship. On its first ap-
pearance on board it devoured all the soap
and candles in sight, and ate two officers
dress suits. They were obliged to lock up
the soap in an iron safe to keep it out of
reach of the bear, and the ensign who owns
the animal is mortgaged for two years pay
for damages to the officers suits, One Of
the freaks of the bear was to raid on the
BARRIERS shop Of the ship and eat all the
shaving-sQap, shaving-cups and brushes,
hair-oil, combes and brushes. By order of
the captain a guard is kept over the ships
guns night and day to keep the bear from
eating them, the animal having made sew
eral attempts in that direction.

Daniel Warren, of lie Roy, brought to
the city in his wagon one day last week,
piece of white flint rock, in form the shape
of an egg, about 10 inches long and 6 to Z
in diameter at the base or large end.
What makes it very remarkable and won
derful is that the small end and on all sides,
for at least third of the way towards the
base, is studded with pieces of flint of every
variety of form and color& having the ap-
pearance of having been artificially set in
their positions, while they embrace almost
every tint and color known, many Of them
even vieing with those CT the ''beautiful
bow in the clouds" Mr.. Warren says he
has much larger piece of flint, found on
his farm, studded in the same way.
