FEDERATION ENABLING BILL.

Passed tho House of Commons.

[special to press association.]

Lokdos, August 5. The Federation Enabling Bill has passed through committee. Clause 31 was slightly amended. An amondment of Section A., clause 15, regarding the authority of tho Federal Council in respect to tho relatives of Australasia with the islands of the Pacific was withdrawn, tho mover being unwilling to press it if tho colonies were desirous of its passing. Mr Buycb withdrew his amendment, adding a bankruptcy section to clause 15 on tho Hon. F. Stanley stating that that matter had been othorwiso provided for. Tho'Hon. G. W. Goshen being absent, his motion for tho omission of Clause 31 waa not moved, Mr W. E. Foster congratulated thn House) on passing tho bill, and believed that the colonies would suffer no injury by it, but on tho contrary such Federation would bo productivo of great benefits.

STRANGE OCCURRENCE IN GRATION ROAD.

A Love-Sick Swain Draws a Revolver Upon His Inamorata's Brnthor.

A most peculiar atl'air occurred ia Graf ton Road last Sunday evening. From what wo can gather, it appears that a young man having developed an intense love for a lady residing in that aristocratic neigh bourhood, felt it incumbent upon him as a proof of tho burning passion by which his vitals were boinj; consumed to follow the lady of his choico about very much after the style that is usually de nominated "doing tho French poodle busi ness." This naturally displeased the lady, who apparently neithor liked " him nor anything that pertained unto him." For tunately, however, she was not alone in tho world, and on Sunday even ing, in company with her brother, she went for a stroll. Tho lover, who had, it seems, been waiting outside "worshipping afar off," at once shadowed the couple wherever they went. Not being such an adept at this ns Dunn's friend, Constable Herbert, ho waa observed, and upon tho brother and sistor reaching their residence, it was decided that something must bo done to get rid ot such an incubus. Acccordingly tho brother, after seeing liis sister safely in doors, roturncd to the love-sick youth, whom ho found waiting dis consolate, liko tho Peri at tho gato of Eden. Tho brother at onco accosted him, and demanded an explanation of such conduct. Tho reply came quickly i.i the shapo of a revolver pointed at him by tho lover. This somewhat astonished him, and ho suddenly remembered that his presence was urgently required inside, nnd left speedily, probably thinking that ho could protect his sister better living, than if per forated with the deadly contents of tho six shooter. Unfortunately, at this stage we are compelled to etop, as deponent sayeth not whether the swainsat.it the gate. all night, or whether his passion cooled sufficiently to allow him p!?o to return home before morning. It is stated that this energetic lover, who presses his suit at tho point of a six-shooter, is ono of that class well known in tho colony as remittance men, and ia in receipt of £9 per month through the National Bank.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Quagmire in Parnell.

(To tho Editor )

SiE,*-In reply to the letter in your issue re the injustice to Mr Harper by the Parnell Borough Council, I would say that Mr Harper is an outspoken man, and has denounced the injustice he has so long been subject to, and to expect redress from tho borough cage», after ventilating his sentiments among them, is a misplaced confidence, for they have not got out of that narrow minded channel to overlook honest indignation. As a sufferer in a less degree,

I hold Mr Comiskoy responsible for tho bad state of the roads leading to our properties. Land was bought and property erected before a road was made, and the an noyance wo havo been subject to before wo got a road has taught me this lesson —that I will see a road raado before I build again. It was eventually mado by Mr Comiskey, but when arrangements were being made for tho Council to take it over they demurred ; it was not up to their standard a? a road. They would not take over the quagmire, and #as a ratepayer I commend them, and this ia the only compliment I have been able to pay them. All this annoyance is the effect of it defect in tho law relating to reals made by private on nera. Thoro should tie- n power to stop in nnd compel the road to be pro perly made, and tho law relating to storm water and drainoge levels duly observed ; but in this case it seems at if Mr Comiskey had made a law unto himself, for the low est poiat is opposite Mr Harpers, and when heavy rain come it sweeps through and carries away and destroys in a few minute* the labour of months. A moro glaring injustice I never saw. As the road is no.v, it is a source of annoyance and injustice to all who pa?s> that wr=y. How tho question stands between Mr Comiskoy and tho Council I cannot say, but ono thing is certain, if wo are to continue to suffer this sort oi treatment, bo it so. But out of consideration for tho strangers that fflny want to pass that way, a largo poster should be stretched ucross Hobson's Bay Road to this effect: l'.S. -No strangers to pass here after sundown.

Seamen's Union v. Steamship Owners,

{To the Editor.)

Sih —It is refreshing in degenerate times to raeot with a man of Secretary Ellison B stamp. Ia the first place ho says tho Sea men1- Union made no concession ; tho rate of waffioa agreed upon were strictly in accord ance with "the rules. Tho Union rule;, were simply enforced, and it is all we ask now. Ju=t so. What pleaaes us is he way the Union hits straight from tho shoulder Their tactics are admirable. I recollect wanting two. non-Union men to discharge cargo, and they were engaged, but the Union disapproving, paid the two men tho same pay they would have earned to sit on thTXvf and smoke all day. This, fa air nlav and bounie play. Seeing that the Union is gathering strength, little philosophy on the owners' part to Northern Company by on ac ■MS I am, &c, Cms. .
