The last session of the Legislature of 1882-83 has ended and the acts and doitig of the individual membere . - of that body will receive comment favorable or unfavor able at the ballot box in November next. It is a matter of no little inter cst and concern, to know just what has been done and what will be the offbets upon the business and industries of the State. With the acknowledgment to start with that improvement can yet be miade in the ability and personiel of both Houses, yet it would be safe to say that the make-up of tile Present General Assembly is inflinitely superior to any legislative body that has assem bled in the State House since the war. This perhaps after all is not saying luch, but it is certainly one of the cncouraging signs of the times that the voters are gradually becoming - more careid in the selection of their representatives, and that more regard is now paid to the ability and fitness of men for tie position than at tile party's first advent into power in 1876. There is much to be praised and some little to be criticised ill tile action of tile session of the Legislature now closed. Th1e greater bulk of the bills passed were of no public interest or concrli, and ats such11 are undeserVinifg of public notice or public comment. Upon the other hand, someIO half dozen measures of lasting and far-reachiig conscquence to tile people and to tile State at large, caine lp, were discussed and finally disposed of, and it yet rc -mains.9 to be determined whether the ntion10 upon tilell was wise or unwise. The defeat of the divorce law, we believe, should be a source of regret, and we do not hesitate to say that in our opinion our law-makers in their fiual disposition of this measure let piass by a splendid o)portunity to remedy some of the wrongs aid evils of our social system and by so doing promote the peace and domestic hap piness o'f tile marriage union. A prau deitly restricted divorce law is one of tile necessitics of our civilization, and it may he defeated upon the very tllreslold of tile agitation, but it will be sprung and agitated agaiin and againl, an~d mark it now, it wvill inl somel shapej) or formn fin~ally pass the Legislature. Not onlly tile General Assembly but tile enltir'e State shlouldi be congratulat ed1 111)0n theO final paIssage of tile rail road bill. The esr iiniin l onl-, (.akc from thle com~miRsionl the powver to fix tariff rates, leaving . thienm thecir previous supervisory j M1~er. Tfhat the i'aihroad law previos.sly existinig was oppressive, will scarcely be dollied by anyone, an~d that inl its operationis inlcalculable diinage wals being done thle in~dustries of thle State is about as well for'tified as observation, ox pe ri 01nCC anid reason could1( make it. Sona tor Gaillard inl his admirable speech11 inl tile Senalto last weok upon03 the bill1 said: "The true policy should be to leave the railr'oads to manuage theoir . own aff'airs and fix thirl ownl rates, smibject oly to correctionl in case of' -.abuse or' violationl of law or' thec rights of tile citizenl. Thlis is a righlt thlat inhercs0 ill tihe OWne~rshlip of property an~d a1 righlt recognlized universally save only inl railroad properly. Thle amenoid 1me11t (lox terousl y aflords an1 appear anco(1 of reOlief ill th10 righlt of appeal33 provided, but it will nlot deceive tile railroads.

UmIn this connection some remarks of his about wine way be mentioned. Hard drink ing was In fashion during his youth, and at public dinners men who lot the bottle pass were hardly regarded as gentlemen. Disraeli, who could never stand much wine, suffered a good deal from this social usage, and he set himself to study the demeanor of men who ould drink deep without being any the worse for it. Lord Melbourne was one of these, and he gave Disraeli a wrinkle by saying: "You can drink if you don't talk; If you talk much you needn't drink, for people will think you're drum)k and lot you alone." It is obvious that the excitement of conver sation must co-oporate powerfully with the fumes of wine in naking the brain reel. Disraeli having noted this fact, went further into the subject by observing that a man's convivial propensities are always taken for granted if ho talks in praise of wine and ap. poars to be very critical about it. Some of his remarks savoring of the most refined epicureanism may therefore boascribed solely to his temperate desire to find excuses for not drinking. He was not a judge of wines, though he pretended to be, and once allowed himself to lay down the lavy about Burgundy against tho late Lord Softon. Barely in Time. [Tho contineut.] "By the way, I was speaking to a very intelligent station-master the other day about the crop of holiday railway accidents. 'Do you think,' I said, 'it has much to do with the long hours' He at once replied, with the utmost warnith and eagerness: 'Sir, you can take your stand upon that. If you are over in company where that question is started yon will be right in denouncing the hours. No one will be able to reply to you then. Undoubtedly, the men are worn out, oppressed and fatigued beyond all powers of attention. "'Look at that poor follow in yonder signal box,' and he pointed to one hard by; 'ho has been there for twelve hours at a stretch every day it is the samo thing. That man has not even thno to snatch a quiet meal, no rest, dare not relax for a minuto. Well, what's the consequeneol Some break down and die off, others go off their heads, and you never can tell when the break down is uominng. The men won't give in-it's their bread; the station-mnaster daren't complain, and the directori know it. They don't care for the public safety; they can afford the dhamages. Human life is nothing to thor , nor human hearts and brains either. The thing,' he added, 'is scandalous, shaneful, notorious.' "At that moment an express was sighted; his quick eye caught the pointsman flagging. 'John, look sharp!' and he hurried off. 'Johi' was in timo, and only just. The train flew back like a hurricane, and 'Jobn' lounged away languidly with his hands in his pockets, looking fit for the hospital." PA RTNERSIlIP.
