containing au'lnteresting account of the

and "how tbe reople are humbugged," a
portion ot whicb we publish for tbe bene
fit of Sir. GtlUIlau's constituents in this
vicinity. It was truly "a small play in a
great theatre'' and reflects great credit on
him. -Alter reading tbe description no one
lor a moment can doubt bis abilities, or
deny that be is a great statesman:
Entering trotn the cars, say at eight
o'clock. b would bave found tbe corridors
about tbe Senate all empty, except us tbe

not aonear till be reached the entrance to
tbe liall of Representatives wbete a single
door-keener was nodding. Circling urouud
to tbe gallery stairs and gaining tbe gallery
he would bave been at a loss to explain tbe
scene. Tbe Hall blazed with lights. There
was one mail in tbe sneaker's chair, one
near the center of tt,e room rapidly and
monotonously reading, and tbree utbers not
listening, but apparently in waiting. There
weie a half dozeu boys at the desk, a door
keeper a't each eutrance above and below,
a clerk who was read? lor any unexpected
call, tbe ofiicial reports of The Globe, and
tbe poor victim who was obliged to endure
all for the sake ol the Associated Prets.
Tbe galleries were empty. Tbe Ilepoiter's
nailery was as silent as it the art of printing
was dead. And yet th s - was a Section ol
tbe House or Representatives of tbe United
Stales. Mr. W'.non, ofMinuesota, bad tbo

A trip to Baltiraoro or Washington from
tbis section of tbe country need no longer
be limited to tbe single route hitherto in
vogue, for the Erie Railway Company have
recently perfected arrangements for tbe sale
of tickets to tbat and other southern points,
by way of New York City and the New
York and Washington Air Line road, thus
offering the trave'er a cboieo of routes,
either by way of Eltuira and the Northern
Central Railway, or by tbe New route just
mentioned. Passengers nro thus enubled
.to vary tbeir journey lo tbe National Cap

over a few days, if tbey desire, and reach

- Petroleum Tiunu in Canada. Tbe
following extract from a correspondent of-
the Toronto Globe contains Interesting in
formation on the subject: "Apart trout the
Pennsylvania petroleum trade our own is
already considerable, and it4uiiist develop
to tbe utmost limit of the production of our
rich oil territories. Little Is thought of
this Hade at present beyond the circle of
those immediately iutoicsted in it,nnd it is
tiot tbeir policy . to let tbo world know the
extent of tbeir operations; but it is a fact
tbat tbo Canadian export petroleum trade
is yielding a very handsome sum to tbe
New York Central Railway Company, and
to the New Yoik comn.itsioti merchant,
every copper of which ducing theceasou ol
navigation might bn oarned b ourselves.
It seems to me tbat Nova Scotia inlgat send
us coal and vessels and take our petroleum
lo Europe, earning lor every ititen st con
cerned a very handsome profit."
