The hou. member for Eoslyn has a grievance, and told the Speaker of the House all about it yesterday afternoon. There would perhaps be nothing extraordinary in Mr. Burns having a grievance, but for the fact that the circumstances out of which it arose are somewhat peculiar. We may mention that there has been something unnatural about the bearing of that gentleman in the House since the session commenced, suggestive of his having suffered during the recess some unknown malady which gave to his manly frame an unnatural activity. This was chiefly noticeable in the House yesterday, when the hon. gentleman, in his seat on the left-hand side of Chamber, seemed as if he werepepetually dodging something quite invisible to everyone but himself, and occasionally wearing an expression of such extreme alertness and cunning (as one who wasn’t to he “had” on any account) that the contemplation of him had quite an exciting effect. Eortunately the hon. gentleman did not allow the House to “burst in ignorance.” It may be mentioned that the Government have, for some reason or other, caused to be erected on the floor of the House some ornamental pillars, with little holes on the top. One of these pillars stands almost immediately in front of Mr. Burns, who is therefore prevented from having “an uninterrupted view of over the way,” and we gather from this that a constant contemplation of this thing, and an endeavor to see through it the movements of those beyond, must have caused Mr. Burns to invest it with life, as Tom Smart did the “ old arm chair.” Hence the eccentric behavior to which we have alluded of the hon. member for Eoslyn. Howbeit Mr. Burns complained to the Speaker, and complained after the manner of a man who had begun to think he was an illused individual, and the Hon. the Speaker, in reply, regretted that those ornamental architectural arrangements should have caused an hon. member pain. He would, we understood him to say, ascertain what could be done towards the elimination of the objectionable pillars.
