A GOOD LESSON

A certain pretentlouß shopper, after testing the shopkeeper of a millinery establishment beyond the forbearance limit, pompous^ ordered a reel of cotton to be nent to her house. It wis agreed that she should be mide an example of, and a warning to her kind. She was - ■or prised, and her neighbors wore inten sely interested, Boon after abe arrived at horned A. common dray, drawn by four horses, proceeded elowly up to her door. On the dray, with bare arms, were a number of stalwart laborers, They were holding on vigorously to some or j act which she conld not see. It was a most pozzUng affair. A f ter a deal of whip creaking and other impressive ceremonies, the cart was backed against the kerb. There, repdelng c*lmly, end up, In the centre of the cart floor, was the Identical rest of thread which she had ordered. With the aid of a plank it was fiaal'y rolled, barrel fashion, to the pavement. After a mortal a 1 niggle it was up-ended on the purchaser's doorstep. The fact that the purchaser came out a minute la*ei and kicked her property In'o the gutter detracted nothing from the value of the lesson. — Exohsnge.

THE CHINESE IMMIGRATION BILL.

There appears to be very great proba bility of something like a dead lock be tween the two Chambers of the Legislature ftsregards this measure. It bad, it will be remembered, a very severe time of it m the Council, which body has made altera tions mit of a very material character. These consist m the striking out of the clauses which disqualified persons of the Chinese race from exercising the rights of citizenship, and m the addition of a new clause exempting such Chinese as are natural born subjects of the Queen from the operation of the clause which restricts the number of immigrants per vessel to one to every hundred tons. The first point is of no great importance and might well be waived by the House of Representatives, but the other is vital, inasmuch as the new clause would practically render the Bill inoperative. ! For, remembering the almost impos pibility of distinguishing one Chinaman from another, it will be seen at once that, as all the Chinese m Hong Kong and the Straits Settlements are subjects of Her Msjesty, it would inevitably appear, should this clause become law, that all Chinese immigrants would claim to hail from one or other of these localities, and thus m default of disproof of the troth of their assertion, conld come m under the old Act at the rate of one for every ten tons of the vessel's tonnage. As the recent Chinese Conference de cided that the limits should be one for every five hundred tons it would be manifestly absurd to permit this state of things, and hence the House was quite right m refusing to agree to the amend ments proposed by the Council. In all probability the House will give way as to the other matters if the Council yields m this, but there is an impression that it desires to kill the Bill and if so there would be a final disagreement resulting m its being laid aside. We hope tfeab this will not be the ca3e, but that better counsels will prevail, for though tie Bill as introduced by the Government falls short of the legislation which will have eventually to be adopted, it is yet a distinct improvement upon the Act of 1881 ; and with the excision of the new clause would operate to check the Mongolian invasion with which we are threatened.

From Home papers received by tb© RMS.

Beemed to require it, the Apostolic fee haß frequently addressed fe> thq Irish people— toward whom it has always shown, speoial affection — season able words of warning and counsel, with the object of enabling them to defend or to assert their rights without prejudice to j : ;et icJ or to public tranquility. At the present moment our Holy Father Pope Leo XIII , fearing least right conceptions < of justice and charity should be preverte & amongst that people m consequenca e f that mode of warfare called the Plr^ ©/ Campaign, which has beeo emplov^i m fhat country m contests between, letters and holdeiß of lauds or farms, as also io conEfquenca of a fcrm of prosfflEptibn m connection with the earao conteafci known as boycotting, commieeoned tka- Supreme Congregation of the Holy s&aaan and Universal Inquisition to mika the matter the subject of grave and aareful examina tion. Accordingly tjhjß following question was submitted to the Most £»mm*nt Fathers whp share with me the, office of General Inquisitors against heretical error, viz. : — In contests between letters and boldern of land* o*. farma l a Ireland, is it lawful to h/we reconrse to those me»DS known aa,ihß..

TheDootors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of hie extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dock's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomaoh m perfeot order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant.
