Much more mite be sed on this branch of mi subjec, but life is short & i must kum to thee pint.I will divide my discoarse up into 42 heds.Perhaps i may not think of some of them, but let that pars.Thee grate fack still remanes that the punshons are onto the streets again,* & who is to blame for this ?“ Thare are sum rotten eggs into Denmark,” as Burns says, in 1 of his immortal poems.Mi opinion is that, we hev 2 menny ingineers into the corporashun.Frum thee rite Honorable Mr.McShane, of Brooklyn, down to Alluvial Rodden, thare are twenty-seven uv thee 1st ingeneers into this kuntry.I think thee member frum thee St.Ann’s •Diogenes is delighted to find that, thanks to the much abused Steam Engine, the puncheons have, he hopes, finally, disappeared.Ward, who is presently into the chareman’s place, studies his hydrawlix frum a homeopathy book, or purhaps frum Punshon’s surmons.Mi frends & fello citizens,” sez i, “we air over ingineered.Thare is too much science into our korporashun to projuce enny grate results.To illustrate this pint of mi discoarse,” sez i, “ uv what use wood the fire marshuls bee efhose reels hed not bin invented furst?What this city wants is more water & less ingineering.Thair air sum ignorant cusses who kumplain that in a multitude of kounsellors thare is wisdom.But this is plaid out, except in Saint Mary’s Ward, which always sends wise and intellygent men into the korporashun to defend her rites.When Makguavran was fresh into thee traces, i had sum hopes thet things was going to change, & felt konfident thet, hevin run a saw-mill for.sum yeers, he must hev bekum ackwainted with ingineering & canalls in all thare branches.But mi hopes have bekum delapidated.Thee more he talks the less water comes down the old aqueduck, & i hev to drink mi whiskey, pure, which is rooinin’ mi konstitushun.One of two things shood be dun ; inkrease his salary, or let him tend thee saw-mill altogether.” * * * * At this pint in the adress, sum inquisitive kuss in the krowd showted out, “You hev furgot awl about thee watch ! ” “ That’s so gentlemen,” sez i, “ bein of such extrordinary cheepness, i forbare to thank you fur her ontil i find out how shee goes.” But to return to the water question—ef mi watch goes out of kilter, (i never yet hev practised emplyin a carpenter nor even a blacksmith to mend her, i allers emply a fust class watchmaker to cooper hur up, & one thing i hev remarked, thet he allers charges $3 for repares, grate or small.So ef i wuz to bee kolled upon to manidge thee water wurks of this mayjestic city, i wood employ one fust-rate ingineer, who had not served his time into a saw-mill ; &, mi frends, every thing would go right.Too menny kooks spoil thee broth, & ez long as you hev 27 kounsillors with 490 friends, demandin’ kontrax bi the million, sumbuddy must suffer ef the kontractor dosen’t, & it is most allers the city.But to change the subjec, mi frends—heve you seen F.B.Browne’s lamentashun on not gettin into thee kounsill ?Ef not, purchase one.Thare yu’l see the evil effex of bad kumpany.Thee yung man was too good for the kounsil.It hesn’t arisen to thee hi pitch, which demands the presens of sich.Publik opinion aint up to the pint of swallyin so much virtoo & purity at one gulp.But,” sez i, “ ef thare’s enny yung man in this krowd wich hez not herd Doctor Irvine’s remarks about Dido, let me cawshun him to avoid bad kumpany, & if he kant git enny other, he’d better stay to hum.” Here 1 of mi awjunce remarked that, “ he wuz accustomed to sermons only 15 minutes long, & as he hed only subscribed 10 cents towurds the testymoneal thet he kudn’t think of stayin enny longer on account of it’s bein robbery to git more than his munney’s worth.” I kollapsed, & the awjunce dispersd, with three cheers for miself & Missus Trimble, & the band played that good old tune, “ We ’re a’ noddin ! ” Youres trooly, ZEKE TRIMBLE.148871^9 200 DIOGENES.March 19, 1869.QUINTESSENCE OF QUEBEC QUIDDITIES.PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT.-LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.On Friday, March 10th, 1869 the House met at a quarter past three.After some unimportant business, Mr.Fortin moved, seconded by Mr.Tremblay, “ that an “ humble address be presented to His Excellency the Lieu-“ tenant Governor, praying for all correspondence and docu-“ ments concerning the fires which have taken place on the “ Coast of the Gulph of St.Lawrence, or in Gaspesia, in 1867 “ and 1868.” The Hon.gentleman cited some interesting statistics, and after informing the House that the forests are one of our most important sources of revenue, added, “ but if “ they were annually destroyed by fire, as well as by the axe of “ the settler and the lumberman, they would not continue long “ so.” Poor forests ! Hard fate to be laid waste by the raging element, and to rise again Phœnix-like from their ashes, only to fall once more beneath the ruthless axe of the lumberman or the settler ! But wherefore cry “ Woodman, spare that tree,” when, after a year’s desolation they will again appear in their pristine grandeur, to brave another conflagration ?We may pity the hard fate that the forests have to undergo, but we cannot reconcile the above facts with Mr.Fortin's statement, that they will soon cease to afford us a source of revenue.After their annual burning, a valuable quantity of charcoal might be collected, and when they had been laid low for the second time within twelve months, by the axe of the lumberman, might it not be possible to convey the timber down country in the usual manner, ere the time arrived for another resuscitation of arboreous nature ?We think that with due adherence to the first part of Mr.Fortin's argument, they might be made materially to increase instead of diminish our revenue.After some remarks about “ Grain” and “ Northern Africa,” the speaker sat down.Diogenes would like to see the member for Gaspe on his legs again, and would recommend both the Hon.gentleman and the Forests to take “ Resurgam” for their motto.Mr.Hemming was of opinion that we ought to watch our neighbours.“ This system was as old as the reign of King Alfred,* and would work well.” Good ! Mr.Hemming.Let us return to that golden age by all means.Our school histories inform us that such was the prevalent honesty of the people and so admirably regulated were the city and rural police of that day, that people might hang gold ornaments on the hedges, with the perfect certainty of finding them safe and untouched at the end of a week.Doubtless, our Forest laws are inefficient, but let us first look to those evils which lie even at our doors.The “ noble half-hundred ” who guard the peace of Quebec,—who may be the terror of small boys and drunken women, but who are the laughing stock of every rowdy and loafer in town,—may be brought up to a state of real efficiency, ’ere many extramural reforms are taken in hand.Mr.Poupore said, “ What I understand by the motion before this House is, that the Hon.member for Gaspe, merely-” The Speaker, evidently thinking of his dinner hour, and rapidly quoting “ Hudibras,” “ Brevity is good, When w’ are, or are not understood.” Mr.Poupore, continuing (in allusion to the Ottawa lumbering districts) “ owing to tbe unprecedented depth of snow now, a “ great portion of the timber cut down will remain in the “ woods, and be lost to the owner and the country, as well “ as the Crown dues accruing from it to the revenue.I “ could see no reason why a special Committee, for the pur- * Older probably.—Ed.“ pose of devising some ways and means to remedy, as far as “possible, the recurrence of such a misfortune, and to offer some “ suggestions to prevent such an immense loss to the country “ in future, in order that this House might take some action “ to remedy the evil, when the report would be submitted, “ and then the matter could be fully discussed on the floor of “ this House.” Diogenes would recommend Mr.Poupore, in future, to subsidize “The Clerk of the Weather,”—a very accommodating official who would, doubtless, have it in his power to make arrangements, so that the quantity of snow destined for the Ottawa district might be conveniently discharged at the North Pole, or some equally remote and disinterested spot.These are the only “ ways and means ” which Diogenes can “ devise to remedy the recurrence of such a misfortune as the “ late unprecedented fall of snow ” in the Ottawa district, which has evidently so disconcerted Mr.Poupore.The motion for a Special Committee was adopted.The Speaker, yawning and retiring with— “And ’tis remarkable that they “Talk most, that have the least to say.“Your daily speakers have the curse, “To plead their causes down to worse : “As dames who native beauty want, “ Still uglier look the more they paint.” Exeunt omnes— Diogenes returns his best acknowledgement to Prior and I the Quebec Chronicle.“VERY LIKE A WHALE.” Yes,—very like a whale, and yet—not a whale ! So very very like, indeed, that a grizzly Nantuckian, intent on blubber, ran off for a harpoon ! O, this immortal ingenuosity ! It will immortalize Yankeedom when pumpkin-pies and gin-slings have faded into the twilight of another antiquity ! Imitation hams, imitation nutmegs, hide your diminished heads !—we have an imitation whale ! Great Philosopher ! trim your Lantern, survey this monster of the shallows, and tell us all about it.Had this anomalous mammal a heart that could feel for another whale ?Were its bones real whale-bones, or built up of used-up canes (smoked) that had once distended our Sairy Gamps ?Tell us how these mechanistic deities, ; the quartette of Jonahs, that encumbered its breast and filled | up its beautiful head, gained admittance ?Did they creept * through its gorge or crawl through its gills ?Had it a pew | at Brooklyn ?Where did it take its bitters ?Can it again ; be made an ocean traveller ?If it can, let it be sent to tap.the Atlantic line and intercept the briny lies.Will it give my friend Tomkins and family a lift across to Europe ?He says, he has so long and so vainly been trying to keep his head above: j water that he should like to go under once more, if only for I the sake of old associations.For these and a hundred other ; particulars, the almighty big world looks to you, my dear sir, (excuse this familiarity,) and let me tell you, it expects ' impartiality.He would be disappointed if you allowed your-self to be influenced by the big fish of the Republican shoals ; and equally so, did you submit to be deluded by the sirenic tricks of the Democratic minnows.PLEASURE.On occasion of a recent hanging a respectable citizen paid a friend a visit, and found the gentleman and his wife at breakfast.“ Going to see the hanging, Tom?” asked the visitor.“ No, Bob,” replied the wife, (wives are seldom slack in reply,)’ “We never takes any pleasure now-a-days ! ” March 19, 1869.DIOGENES.201 THE MEMBER FOR MONTREAL CENTRE TO THE HON.PREMIER OF THE QUEBEC GOVERNMENT.Air : Jeannette and Jeannot.We are going soon away, And have nothing heard as yet Of that precious Education Bill Y ou seemingly forget ; But that Bill, Sir, must be introduced Before the members go ; Can you look me in the face And say the same, Chauveau ?Can you look me in the face And say the same, Chauveau ?When you’ve passed your measures through, Kept in office by our aid, I fear that you will then forget The promises you’ve made ; With excuses on your tongue, Sir, And adherents at your side, You will laugh at us poor Protestants, And let JEWELLERY.WA TCHES.JUST Received, by Express, From Switzerland, ’ A CASE OF WATCHES, From the Celebrated Manufactory of Mon.Ulysse Nardin, In Gold and Silver Cases, Extra Fine Finished.SAVAGE, LYMAN & CO., 271 Notre Dame Street.TRY McCONKEY’S CIGARS.SUGARS.CANADA SUGAR REFINERY, MONTREAL.OHN REDPATH & SON T I MANUFACTURE ALL KINDS OF REFINED SUGARS.WHITE SUGARS—Stove Dried, Moist, and Crystals.YELLOW SUGARS—Brown and Yellow' OF EVERY KIND.SYRUPS—Amber, Golden and Standard.Office : NORTH BRITISH CHAMBERS, HOSPITAL STREET.CABINET-WARE.PATENT ELASTIC SPONGE.The Subscriber has been appointed Sole Agent in the Dominion for the sale of the PATENT ELASTIC SPONGE, an article w'hich for softness, elasticity, and durability cannot be surpassed, and destined eventually to revolutionize the trade in curled hair, now' becoming scarce and dear.It stands unrivalled for cleanliness, being entirely free from moth and insects, and not liable to decay.For church, car, and carriage cushions it is superior to hair, and as economical—one pound of sponge being equal to lbs.hair.Mat-trasses and Pillows constantly on hand, or made to order at shortest notice.A liberal discount to the trade.Call and see for yourselves at the Furniture Warerooms, Victoria Square.GEO.ARMSTRONG.G.A.is sole Agent in the Dominion for the sale of the beautifully finished Metallic cases patented by “ Fisk,” also the full Glass Casket, which has not yet been equalled elsewhere.
