A professor at the Paris Conservat tory, who is

THE POTTERS' STRIKE.-The dispute in the

insist upon closing down their works rather than
give in to the demands for increased wages. Mean
while $ The Speaker points out, there are al
ready signs of pottery making in the United States
being greatly stimulated, and If the dispute keeps
up much longer England will be in danger of losing

GOVERNMENTS NARROW MAJORlTY.-An-
other curious feature of the week is the narrow
majority of eleven which the Government secured
in the House of Commons the motion to pre-
vent Ministers from being company directors Had
the motion been carried forty companies would
have lost members of their boards. and twenty-five
Ministers including Lord Salisbury. Mr.. Goschen
Mr.. Chamberlain, Lord Hamilton and the Earl OF
Selborne would have lost additional source or
income. All the weekes regardless of party,
agree in supporting the principle of the defeat ed

Lord Lamington, the governor or
Queensland, has left Brisbane for a
tour through the northwestern district
of that colony. The great pastoral re-
gion, along the shores of the Gulf of
Carpentaria. is rarely honored with an
official visit, and the settlers will, no
doubt, be delighted to see the gov
ernor. Lord Lamington, on his side,
ought to enjoy the trip. The blacks
are still numerous in this part of Au-
stralia, and their habits and customs
are very curious. But the governors
attention will be directed more par
ticularly to the material resources of
the country, and the possibility of in
creasing the means for its develop
