' HUNTING: SCANDAL MONGERS. ; It was announced some days ago "that the speeches which Mr. Fowler, M.P., made in the commons, and especially that in which occurred the flare-up about wine, women and graft, had been printed and issued for the edification of the people. The member is glorified in the conservative press. He has been held up as a mighty man, a political - Philistine without a peer, I] the Goliath of whom the liberals in the commons have been afraid. The man's size and importance de- pend upon the manner in which he is viewed. An independent paper, the Ot- if favour, "It begins to look," says our contempokary}" "a il 'G.I W.

The ex- traordinary measures which Mr. Fow- ination seem to show what Mr. Fowl- er himsell thinks of those deals." Yea, verily, the danger line is not yet passed, The insurance commis- sion's roport is before the people, and they can appraise the perfor of Messrs. Fowler and Foster pretty well. Nor will 'the people he deceived by anything which these worthies may say or do before the next session.

TWAIN AND THE KING, The visit of Mark Twain to the king £ of England is regarded as a notable . £ event. It is one that Edward VII. no doubt enjoyed.; That Mark was given 'an audience, #t a time when the king was entertaining distinguished ' visit- ors, is an evidence of his majesty's most obliging 'spit. "01 4H the peo- ple that gathered about royalty on this occasion, no ome was more con- Spicuous "than the great American humorist. Mark was introduced by the king to several of the party and jok- ed with them all. His humor was «J more spontaneous than usual, gnd why not under the inspiration of so great an event. Twain is not missing any good thing which is coming his way. He has the happy faculty of being around when it is most convenient, and "of saying and doing the very thing that fits the case. Mark is one of the real ly. popular men of the day,and for the honor as well as humour he possesses. He is just now having a second period of rest and recreation. Once he retired from active service, as a leo- turer and writer, with a competence. But he invested it in a publishing business, and lost all that he had. 'With a wonderfully buoyant spirit he | went to work afresh. He not ouly re paired his damaged fortune, but amassed enough to liquidate every dollar 'of his indebtedness. To-day, he represents a type of manhood that is very high and very uncommon. He is writing all the while, and writing a great deal that is thimdn its quality, but he is industrious, honorable, hon- est and manly. In short he is a citizen of whom any country would be proud. « . Headquarters. It you want to buy or sell City Peoperty, go to a man wh 0 on ibilities the better. it - x Der the | afraid of work.

When they are located they give satisfaction, and they reo- present the only class that can be re-, lied upon. The kind the city is receiv- ing--without solicitation--is made up largely of large families, with a Lon- don edueation that is deficient and which shows ite quality in careless and indifferent lives. Some of these--men, women and chil- dren--have been seen sitting abeut the highways, and at the railway sta- tions, having no funds, no plans, and no ambitions. Their destination was Kingston, but why they could not say. The result is a filling up of shacks with an unfortunate class who arc already dependent on others for a livelihood and whose whole support will become necessary as the winter season approaches. Apparently, they know something of the poor laws, and have imbibed ideas of life that are calculated to make them undesirable citizens of any country.

" The. conservative cabinet makers are still busy with the work which Sir Wilfrid Laurier is expected to do, and he may return to Camada only to find that he is without a job, The ery of the conservative papers about graft is well understood. Next session of parliament will see the fur fly, so far as the insurance report is concerned, and the plan is to have something to offset it. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is missing a lot of nice things which have been said on the anniversary of his entrance up on piblie: life. The scrap:book is at large, however, and he may be heard from later. An excuse for the misrepresentation of certain manufacturers as to the census returns is that a bad use might be made of the correct informa- tion. This is the excuse or apology of the Montreal Gazette, and it is a very weak ome. ; 'A royal commission will report up- on the efficiency and deserts of the civil service.

Constructed on Estate of Joseph Bonaparte, Philadelphia Pubne er, Plain truth ve when com- pared with the thrilling legends told mn the past of the subterranean pass- ages leading from the home.of the ex- King of Spain to the river at Bona- parte Park, Bordentown. In reality there were only two ' short under- ground passageways constructed by Joseph Bonaparte, but these, with the mansion observatory, gave rise to the fanciful stories that he had subterran- ean passages dug all through his grounds; that the passages had iron doors and could be closed and bolted on the inside. When Joseph Bonaparte purchased the extensive path in Bordéntown for his American ome, it included about 1,000 acres, situated on the elevated plateau of Bordentown, on the south side of the Crosswicks Creek, and ex- tending from the confluence of the greek and the Delaware to the White Horse bridge, more than a mile above, After occupying for a time the sub. stantial frame building which stood in the park Bonaparte built a mansion near the edge of the bluff and named it Point Breezo. From the cellar of this mansion was the first brick under- ground passageway, about ten feet wide and fifty feet long, leading to the side of the bluff, and from the en- trance to this underground passage to the water's edge was an enclosed path of easy ascent. This subterranean passage was walled up and ceiled with brick, and it was afterward divided into two passageways where it entered the mansion, one leading 'to the cellar and one leading to an upper room in the mansion. Later a third door gave entrance to the icehouse and still later another long underground passage was con- structed to extend beyond the wall containing the doors to a great arch of substantial and assive structure which gave entrance' to a "covered way" leading from the Bonaparte man- sion to the Lake House--near the Tren- ton road entrance to the park--in which his daughter Zenaide resided. The passage to the Lake House was built upon the side of the bluff, was faced with latticework and afforded a shelter from the inclemency of the weather. The entrance also served as a shelterway in case of sudden show- ers for parties who had been pleasur- mg on the water, and with this idea the count had carved in Italian over the doorway : "Not ignorant of evil, I learn to succor the unfortunate." Very fow traces are now left of the underground gallery leading from the site of the original mansion to the Lake House, but the substantial brick walled passage leading from the site of the original mansion to the creel and thonce to the Delaware river is the same to-day as when built, nearly a century ago. It has of late years been walled up where it entered the cellar of the old house. Treat Your Friends.
