      Last week some one proposed in Parliament that the railways should supply foot-warmers to third-class passengers . The idea was laughed to scorn , the warm-water scheme being deluged with cold water . This is rather surprising , as the Houseas a ruleis rather fond of getting people into hot water . , ,

      We have reasons for believing that Garibaldi has been engaged by an eminent publishing firm in Holy well street to write a companion novel to The Rule of the Monk . It is said that the forthcoming work will fill up the place in English literature left void by the suppression of The Confessional Unmasked .

      To Return To A Subject Already Noticed B...

      To return to a subject already noticed by us . The member who referred to the measure introduced last week to oblige Railway Companies to supply foot-warmers to second and third class passengers as a frivolous one , and designated its introduction into the House as a waste of

      valuable time , had some plea for his view of the matter . Still there was a good deal in the " spirit " of the motion . It will not do for Parliament to interfere too much with the profits of shareholders , yet , at the same time , there are circumstances under which its interference would be a great blessing to all classes of

      the community . Nothing can be more vile than the treatment second and third class passengers receive at the hands of the Railway Companies , whose sole business seems to be to punish the latter because they are poor , and to bully the former because they refuse to travel first class . As to the foot-warmer

      question , perhaps a journey , with the giass at 26 , from Manchester to London , in a third-class carriage , might have softened the heart even of the indignant member in question . As to the general aspect of railway matters , they have so long been regarded as the scandal of the country , that it becomes almost

      an absurdity to comment upon them . If the Government here interfered , as it does on the continent , to prevent jobbing contractors and their friends constructing useless lines in all directions , for the sole purpose of filling their own pockets at the defenceless shareholders' expense , there would be an end of

      railway miseries . Lines would then pay a good dividendand , it would not only be to their advantage but also in their power to improve their accommodation in every respect .
