The Monetary Times:—In_ connection
with the Syndicate debate, some one has
called attention tothe fact that, when the
last census was taken, all the land in cul-
tivation in Canada was less than eighteen |
millions (17,780,921) of acres. If it has
taken so loug to bring these lands under |
cultivation, how long will it take to make |
arable the twenty-five million of acres}
which the Syndicate is to get? The past, |
it is fair to say, is buta poor guide to the |
future ; for prairie lands brought under the |
operation of capital, can be cultivated with |
a rapidity quite unapproachable when wood |
lands have to be turned inte grain-fields by |
settlers almost wholly destitute of capital.
Stili, in valuing the twenty-five millions of |
acres, we must make allowance for the long |
time that must necessarily elapse before |
they will be in demand for cultivation. The |
value, when they can be sold, is the only |
realizable value for the holders ; their vaiue |
now is arbitrary and must be deduced from |
some estiwate of the rate at which thsy can
be sold,

The St. Peters Penny Readings. |

The second night of the course passed off in
a very agreeable manner, notwithstanding that |
two of the readers were unablé to fulfil theirg
engagements, on indisposition.
Major Freeland was interesting and amusin
both reading and song. Miss barr was v

eceived by the audience, and read in a quiet
hamorous manner, the trou. ics and drawbacks
of choirs, Mr. Bambrick »: had- a
superabuadance of demons. »pium, razors, and
suicide in it, and consequeusly was rather de-
pressing.

The music of the eveniag was first rate. |
Foremost were Messrs. Worth and Earle, who |
played with their accustomed accuracy and
taste. Miss Palmer sang her song splendidly
ann deservedly reeeived aa encore. Masters
McNab and Cummings, s-ag a duet written
specially for them, and hea i for the first time
at this Reading; the your fellows received
quite an oration from the .adience and were
obliged to repent part of th duet. Miss Loch-
head's voiee was very sw: et in her song and
shewed a clear and telling power for chamber
music. “The instrument.) piece played by
Mrs. Brown was exécuic iaa very thorough
manner, and shewed that the lady had a com-
mand both of the technicalities and the taste
of the selection; her song of * a Ma-
vourneen ” was sung with much feeling. Tie
‘* Beautiful Mountain Home” of Mrs,
McNab and Miss DesGrisay was as happy and
bright as the combined voices of those ladies
ceuld make it; the echo in the duet was very
finely rendered. The quartette, an old French
air, was a pleasing composition, and consider-
ing that it was in the minor key and without
accompaniment, it was sung acceptably by the
voices,

The next ‘‘ Readings” will take place on

at the instigation of his son George :

The facts in this case make it appear as though
the people of Prince iidward Isiand are obli

of which would repress every kind of mechani-
calindustry. During the firat half of the pre-
sent century Mr. Watson Duckemin establish-
ed himself as a pump and block maker in
Charlottetown on the spot where, until recent-
ly, the worksh»p occupied by himself and in-
herited by his sons has stood. Some years
later a dwelling house was erected upon the
adjeining lot ef iand. After the death of
their father the uckemin brothers built a

| new factory upon the site of the old shop, and

and had prepared for carrying on their busi-
ness with improved facilities, when Mr. Thos,
Alley, the owner ef the adjoining property,
sued out an injunction to prevent their carry-
ing on their business on the prerises. The
ground for action was that the noise from the
constituted an annoyanee to Mr.
Alley’s family and detracted from the value
of his property. The vase was tried before
Judge Peters, whose decisions throughout
have been so.contrary to the popular concep-
tions of justice that one of them was followed
by the holding of an indignation meeting. Mr.
Alley, however, has beeu relentless in his pres
ecution, aud Judge Peters has continually de-
cided in his favor. Finally the matter has
gone so far that the Duchemin Brothers hav-

speaking some wholesome truths of the

that they do not see that the system is so
utterly wron it must lead to disaster.
You have to keep India, where your pres-
tige, having suffered from your retreating
from Oabul, and your reported intention to
evacuate Candahar, may at any moment
lead to another iusurrection. You have
serious business in hand in Ireland. You
have this unfortunate business at the Cape ;
and at the same time you meau to hold
your position in Europe. All I can say is
that, with your army, you cannot do that.
The other day, when my old friends of the

A Madrid despatch says inundations have
caused the destruction of half the crop of
oranges and lemons of Spain, and the loss
is estimated at $40,000,000 to the agricul-
turists. Seville, Condeva and Burgos are
flooded, but the lors of life is slight. The
loss to the shipping on the coasts is sup-
posed to exceed one hundred vessels, and
the damage te vessels at Huelva, Bilboa,
Cadiz, Barcelona and Santandar is estimat-
ed at several millions. After ten days of
gales and floods they have cut off tele-

The Naples Perseveranza reports that a
very interesting experiment was lately made
at Milan of Signor Mainetti’s invention for
instantaneously detaching a horse froma

carriage. The simplicity and certainty of
the apparatus’ were highly praised
by the spectators, many of whom
expected to see the horse carry
off the splinter bar and the shafts,

which, in case of a horse taking fright,
would only irritate it the more, and while
the occupants of the carriage would be saved
endanger the lives of passers-by. But such
was not the case. The horse, put at a gal-
lop, was detached without the least shock, |
leaving the earriage behind, and enly carry-
ing off the harness on its back. The con-
| trivance consists of a lever within reach of

| the eoachmen, who with the slightest effort
| withdraws two little iron pegs which fasten
| the traces. Now, as all the harness on the
| horse is fastened to two iron bolts fixed on
| the shafts, and theso bolts are only held in
| their places by the traces, it follows that the

Another of those dare-devil feats which
before now have resulted in death, and
which never can benetit anybody by their
performance, is announced to take place
on the Queen’s Birthday. J. Tilley, of
Niagara, is reported to have wagered $500
to $250, put up by one Donaldson, a sub-
marine diver, that he (Denaldson) will not,
on the day mentioned, jump from the Sus-
pension Bridge at Niagara Falls. In the
first place it is much to be regretted that
Tilley has five hundred dollars to wager,
and in the next if Donaldson should kill
himself Tilley should be tried for man
slaughter, for aiding and abetting him.
Better, however, than the trial of men like
Tilley for manslaughter after the event
would be the passage of laws by both
countries concerned forbidding such ex-
hibitions, and inflicting a penalty for wit-
veseing them.

A Goon Story.— A laird of Strathaven,
who owned a quarry, and who was reported
to be worth ‘‘a gey twa-three bawbees
beside,” was curling one day, and _ his fore-
man, Whose name was Lawrence, was play-
ing with him on the same side. The laird
was very anxious he should playa certain
shot, and he cried out in this fashion :—
‘* Noo, Jock Lawrence, d’ye see whanr my
breom is? Lay your staun doon there, and
assure as death, I'll gie you my dochter
Jean if youdo.” Birr rushed the stone out
of Jock’s hand, and went trintling along to
the very§spot where the laird wished it.
‘* Capital, Jock, capital! Ye couldna hae
done better, and ye ean get Jean the morn
if ye want her.” ‘‘ Ye maun gie me some-
thing else than Jean, laird. I hae got
her already. We were married six weeka
ago, and we've been thinking o’ asking
your blessing ever since, but something ayo
cam’ in the way.” The laird was dum-
founded when he heard this, but he com-
promised matters by saying, ‘‘ Aweel,
aweel, Jock, I’ll let by-ganes be by-ganes.
A man that could lay doon sic a pat-lid
like is worthy o’ the best and bonniest lass
in Lancashire ; keep her an’ welcome, and
yell may be get the matter o’ sax hundred
wi her. Keep her, Jock, and if ye hae ony
laddie weans atwehn ye, bring them up in
the fear o’ the Lord, and be ye sure ye
dinna forget to mak’ guid curlers o’ them.”
