The Dime Novel Bill.

The Committee on Public Education in
the New York Assembly must be CON-
posed of powerful intellects. The only
conspicuous result of the deliberations of
that body during the present session is a
favorable report upon a bill in these
words:
"Any person who shall sell, loan, or
give to any minor under sixteen years of
age any dime novel or book of fiction,
without first obtaining the written consent
of the parent or guardian of such minor,
shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor,
punishable by Imprisonment or by fine
not to exceed fifty dollars"
This measure appears to have proceeded
from the mighty mind of Mr.. Abel God
dard, of St. Lawrence county.
A schedule out to be annexed to the bill
prescribing legislative definitions of dime
novel and a book of fiction.
Indeed, why put in dime novels at all?
The words 'sany book of felton, would
seem to include novels of all prices, where
as law against the sale of ten-cent stories
would not be violated by selling the same
works at nine or eleven cents apiece.
But what are the books of fiction against
which Mr.. Goddard wants to guard the
youth of ST. Lawrence? Robinson CRU
soe'' and "Cinderella, !" "Tom Brown at
Rugby and David Copperfeld, "Pel-
ham, and s'The Newcomes ?" A mere
reprint of the parallels OF our Lord would
be book of fiction, for it was by simple
and striking stories that Christ taught
some of the most impressive lessons to be
found in the Scriptures.
When man undertakes to deal by leg
.islation with the injurious influences of a
form of literature which seems occasion
ally to excite criminal tendencies in youth
full readers, he needs to be man of sense.
If he is such person, he soon learns that
law can do so little In the way Of RENEE
dy that It had better let the subject alone.

PRINCESS LOUIsEIN OTTAWA
Though She is Warmly Welcomed. :.
Extra Police are Put on Guard
at Ridean Hall.

OTTAWA, April 1.-THE Governor-Gen-
eral and the Princess Louise were met on
their arrival this afternoon by crowds of
citizens, among whom were all the Min
listers of the Crown and a majority of the
members of the House Of Commons. Tbe
anxiety to see the Princess appeared to be
greater than when she first reached the
city, and hearty cheers greeted her on her
disembarking' A guard of honor, COM
posed of 100 men from the Governor Cen
erals foot guards, was ia waiting, and a
detachment of the Dominion police under
Superintendent Sherwood preserved order.
Recent occurrences of a suspicious charac-
ter at Rideau Hall led to the greatest pre-
cautions being taken, and mingled among
the 1000 citizens assembled to greet the
vice-regal party were fifteen special detee-
tives and police officers in civilian dress
from the Toronto force. Sir John Mac
Donald and the Hon. Mr.. Caron were
early at the station, and manifested un-
usual interest in the arrangement of mat
tiers, leading many in the crowd to sup
pose that some trouble was Anticipated.
The other Ministers of the Crown. the
Mayor of the city, the Speakers of the
Senate and House of Commons, and ma
jority of the legislators now in town. ar
rived later OIL.
On the first appearance of the Princess
three rousing cheers were given, the COM
pliment being acknowledged by graceful
bow. She shook hands with the Minis
tiers of the Crown and their ladies and
many prominent citizens as she passed
through the crowd. On leaving the depot
the band played Home, Sweet Home,''
and boquets were thrown into the car
riage. All along Elgin street the party
were cheered, his Exeellency, with pleas
ant smile, raising his hat in acknowledge
ment. The Princess looks as though her
health was fully restored. She wore an
ordinary travelling suit of crimson velvet.
The Princess drove hastily to Rideau
Hall. Another detachment is doing spe-
cial duty in connection with the Govern
ment House and Parliament buildings
An extra guard will be placed at Rideau
Hall tonight. 1t is said that the reason
for the presence ofthe police and detec-
tiyes is that the Governor-General has re-
ceiyed threatening letters. Rideau Hall
is closely guarded, and so are the Govern
ment buildings, in which an extra force
has been put, and a strict watch is kept
day and night. There are no suspicious
individuals in the city, and the whole
thing is regarded as scare.

How They Kept up the Fight.

Mobile (Ala.) Register: 1t was in the
good old times of Mobile, when the Wing
and Democratic papers were laundering at
one another and the public was anxiously
looking for gore. The able editors, in the
meantime, used to meet surreptitiously
every night and have quiet game of
cards. One day the Democratic editor got
sick and couldn't s'ge for'' his hated con-
temporary. He therefore dropped him a
note, advising him to write the article him.
self. This the Wing editor at once did, and
pitched into his own paper and himself in
fine style, to the extent of column or
more. Thus was the great controversy
kept up and the public bam boozled.
Now that the laugh over sPlon Plon"
Napoleon has passed over, it is perhaps
worth while to remember that Louis Ma
poleon was ridiculed far more vigorously,
and even more justly, after his laughable
failures at Strasburg-When Lieutenant
dragged him off his horse and stripped off
the trappings of Napoleon Bonaparte
which he Wore-and at Boulogne, where,
in his confusion, he fired at his own party
and then ran for his boats. But notwith-
standing ridcule and repeated failure, he
at last sat upon the throne Of France as
Emperor.
A girl named Hernals was found living
insensible near Vienna hospital few
days ago. She was breathing, but to all
appearance dead. On being taken to the
hospital, the doctors pronounced the case
to be one Of poisoning. When brought to
herself again, she declared that after the
sparing use Of some new rouge strange
sensation came over her, and she told her
mother she must 60 out for little air.
On reaching the hospital she tainted, and
was found in that condition. The rouge
being examined, was found to contain sew
eral poisonous Ingredients, and no doubt
has been the cause Of many deaths.

WINTER.

From out his robe the snow he shook,
His path with storms to trace,
To bind in ice the Ginning brook
Whose bank the birds long since iorsook,
Bold Winter came apace,
His frown is in the cold, gray cloud,
In storms his voice outbreaks.
His hand is on the woodland proud,
When, in the tempest fierce and loud,
The creaking forest shakes.
Hank in the moaning winds he sings
A requiem, sad and low
70 Natures persisted form he brings,
And over II in silence filings,
A winding-sheet of snow,
He breathes upon the yielding lakes;
The gentle winds no more
With their soft breath the ripples break,
Nor can the widest tempest shake
The glittering crystal floor.
In sheltered homes, by genial fires
Let love as warmly glow
For Him whose wisdom still inspires,
Whose beauty fills the hearts desires,
And shields us from the snow
And though the Winters hand be strong
On dale and hill and plain,
Although in storms he sweeps along
And bushes every streamlet's song,
He cannot always reign,
The sun with gentle beams shall chase
His icy bonds away;
So Error, boasting pomp and place.
Shall fly before the kindling face
OF Truths resplendent day.

future then is TO hand down to the ages

Boundless success and surge sublime,

the gorgeous panorama of the canyons

But we would have men Of mind, of
