The repetition of Gilbert's super
Opera House was moderately we'll pa
tronized, and the local stars shone with
enhanced luster from their extra rehear-
sal. Ladies and gentlemen made up
exceedingly we'll for their respective
parts, the allotment o. which besides
could not have been more appropriate.
AS for the acting Mr.. J. F. Brown came
with intenser gusto if possible to the
representation of the ludcrous situa-
tons, in which the plural devotion Of
'CheViOt Hip to the manifold ''tree"
on which the fruit of his heart grew
with perennial fitfulness Mr.. E. F.
Bishop, as old man Symperson,"
threw both life and fun into his part !;
Miss Jennie Hare was very natural in
the sentimental positions of the bonnie
Scotch lass, "Maggie Macfarlane," hav-
ing a lively stage action and a pretty
piquancy of tone and gesture; Miss B.
Parke mingled the gloom and gaiety of
Belinda Treherne" with rare facility;
Miss Rose Makee acted charmingly in
perfect attire as the eXpectant bride,
"Minnie Symperson !" Miss A. Walker
dressed and posed as the sedate Scotch
dame with cOnsummate grace.
For the rest, Miss NJ. Brown as

Scotch "een" for the "main chance" as
we'll as fluent of sentimental tears; Mr..
F. F. Hastings, as the solemn adven-
turer "Belvawney," and Mr.. w. Unger
in the brief appearance of the compound
of love and lunacy, "Major Magilli-
cuddy," all played well their parts, and
the tableau scenes of the company had
to be repeated.

Rep. G. Brown gave notice of a bill to

EDUCATION REPORT.

the Board of Education, in both languages.
On motion, the report was ordered to be

NEW BILLS.
Minister Green read, a first time, by
title the Appropriation Bill for 1S88-90.
Noble Wight read, first time, bill to
amend the act relating to the use Of ex-
plosIves in taking fish.
RESOLUTION.
Rep. c. Brown moved the following:
Be it resolved that the clerk of this As
sembly do every morning before proceed
ing to the business of the Assembly, call
the names of all the members of this As
at the time of such roll call upon the min
utes. Adopted.
The same member moved that the APP
propriation Bill be made a special order
for three days in each week. Carried.
ORDER OF THE DAY.
Stamp Duties-Third reading of the
Stamp Duties bill. Passed.
Expenses reading of the bill to
provide for the expenses of Government
until after the passage of the Appropri-
alton bill. Referred to the Finance Com
mittee.
Sunday.-Second reading of the bill to
amend the Sunday law of 1886.
Rep. c. Brown moved it be referred to
the Committee on Education.
Noble Hitchcock moved 1t be read section
by section. Carried.
The main amendment provided for is
the compulsory closing of barber shops on
Sunday.
Rep. Nakaleka said the bill would be OPP
presSiVe, as passengers from the other
islands arriving on Sunday morning, with
boards of ten days growth, could not get
shaved.
Rep. Dowsett moved to amend the bill
by substituting o'clock and o clock in
stead of o'clock and 3 clock as the hours
limiting the time for the sale of beef and
delivery of milk.
Noble Smith said the object of Sunday
laws is to protect working men. He had
introduced this bill on behalf of certain
BARRIERS. Rep Nakaleka's argument about
passenger arrivals getting shaved would APP
ply with equal force to the opening of cloth
ing stores, in order that passengers might
buy clothes. With regard to the milk
wagons, there is one thing to be thankful
for in the prospect of the future life, that
there will be no milk wagons there.
Minister Ashford would favor the addi-
ton of a clause exempting from prOsecu
ton persons who, in accordance with their
religious belief, observe what is called the
Seventh-Day Sabbath, should they pursue
their ordinary avOcations on Sunday with
out interfering with other people.
Noble Widemann wanted to know if
there Is anything in the law to oblIge
BARRIERS to open their shops on Sunday.
They can shut up if they want to. 1t is
evidently not Sunday they want but
money.
The motion for indefinite postpOnement
was put and carried.
Noon recess one hour.

Now that We are going to have an
Election Law which embodies a
| thorough reform of the electoral sys-
tenn OF the country, why is the oppor-
tunity not favorable for an attempt to
secure the advantages of minority
representation? Few people ever reflect
that all minorities are DISTINGUISHED by
the method of voting generally prac-
tised, and that if they are represented
at all, it is by the accident that the
luck in the long run may be pretty
nearly even, the party in the minority
in one district often being the majority
in another, etc. This is, however, a
very hit or miss way of settling repre-
sentation, and that it cannot be relied
on is shown by the fact that in the
United States, strong majority in sthe
Electoral College or House of Repre-
sentatives does not necessarily stand
for a corresponding majority of the
people.
The subject OF minority representation
has been very extensively discussed,
and the discussion of course has resulted
in the elaboration of a good many diff
ferent plans, each having some special
advantages. The subject has been very
thoroughly discussed by NJ Naville in
number of lucid pamphlets, and the
merits of the various schemes exhaust
lively considered. We will content our
selves here, however, with hasty re-
production of what is known as Mr..
Hare's and M. Andrae's plan, as set
forth in Mill's Essay on Representative
Government. We give the plan in Mr..
Mil's own words:
According to this plan, the unit of repre-
sentatiOn, the quota of electors who would
be entitled to have a member to them
selves, would be ascertained by the ordi-
nary process of taking averages, the num-
Der of voters being divided by the number
of seats in the House: and every candidate
who obtained that quota would be return
ed, from however great a number of local
constituencies it might be gathered. The
votes would, as at present, be given To-
cally; but any electOr would be at liberty
to vote for any candidate in whatever part
of the country he might offer himself.
Those electors, therefore, who do not wish

I ENCOUNTER A WHALER.

had been six days and nights at sea, and
the morning of the seventh day had come
With the exception of one day of strong
SOuthweSterly winds, which ran me some
thing to the northward, the weather had been
fne-bitterly cold, indeed, but bright and
clear. In this time had run a distance of
about $50 miles to the east, and with no other
cloths upon the schooner but her spritsail.
On the morning of the seventh day came
on deck, having slept since o'clock.
On looking over the larSoard bulwark rail,
the first thing / saw was ship about two
miles off. She was on the larboard tack
under courses, topsails and maintopgallant-
sail, heading as if to cross my bows The
sunshine made her canvas look as white as
snow against the skirts of the body of vapor
that had trailed little to leeward of her,
and her black hull flashed as though she dis
charged broadside every time she rose wet
to the northern glory out of the hollow of the
swell with a curl of silver at her cut water.
My heart came into my throat; seemed
not to breathe; not to have saved my life
could | have uttered a cry, SO amazed and
transported was by this unexpected appari-
ton. l stared like one in dream, and my
head felt as if all the blood in my body had

pose she should prove privateer-a French
war vessel-of nation hostile to my own!
Thought so wrought in me that l trembled
like an idiot in a fright. The telescope was
too weak to resolve her-I could do better
with my eyes; and l stood at the bulwarks
gazing and gazing, as if she were the specter
ship of the Scandinavian legend.
There were flags below, and could have
hoisted signal of distress; but to what pur-
pose: If the appearance of the schooner did
not sufficiently illustrate her condition, there
was certainly no virtue in the language and
declarations of bunting to exceed her own
mute assurance. | watched her with pas
sion of anxiety, never doubling her intention
to speak to meat all events to draw close
and look at me-wholly concerning myself
with her character. The swell made us both
dance, and the blue brows of the rollers
would often hide her to the height of her
rails; but we were closing each other mid
ding fast-she travelling at seven and l at
four miles in the hOur-and presently could
see that she carried a number of boats.
A whaler, thought |; and after little 1
was sure of it by perceiving the rings over
her topgallant rigging for the lookout to
stand in.
On being convinced of this 1 ran below for
a shawl that was in my cabin, and, jumping
on to the bulwarks, stood f1ourishing it for
some minutes to let them know that there
was a man aboard. She luffed to deaden her
way that might swim close, and as we ap-
preached each other observed a crowd of
heads forward looking at me, and several
men aft all staring intentlU-
