A Creprranie Act.—Gen. Grant's refu-
sal of a public reception on his return to
Washington from the West, we must say,
reflects infinite credit upon that gentle-
man, That retusal was in the most excel-
lent taste. At indicated a magnanimous
unwillingness to parade the triumph of the
North over the South. It sugg: sts the
hope that Grant really desires the restora-
tion of fraternal fecling between the hos-
tile sections of the Union, His conduct in
this matter manifests so much delivery of
feeling and real manliness of soul, that we
are inclined toregard it asot happy augary
fer the moderate, wise and beniticent ad-
ministration ol the affairs of the Republic
by Gen. Grant, Reconstruction Laws, Sum-
ner, Wade and Butler notwithstanding.

THE REVIEWS.

Tur Werstminstex Review fur Octo-
ber lies on our table. ‘This periodical,
while not possessing a very attractive
character among divines of the orthodox
school, is yet conducted with ability. The
first article in this No., on **The Land-
ed Tenure in the Highlands,” presents a
very good statement of a subjett interest-
ing to those who will recoynize a simi-
larity between the acts of the English
Crown in Scotland and this Island. The
notice of * The Poems of William Morris”
will please the metaphysical mind, “Re-
form of our Civil Procedure” is a well
written article, advocating, not a moment
too soon, changes in the practical part of
that most cumbrous and unwieldy of sys-
tems—the English Law. * Spielhagen’s
Novycls” are doubtless the production of
a truly German mind, and we commend
the review of them to all lovers of the
**yaterland.” ‘The article on ** The Pro-
perty of Married Women” acquires addi-
tional interest from the female franchise
agitation in England. By the way, we
would strongly commend these legal ar-
ticles to the attention of every reauer, be
he law student or not. ‘China’ will,
we think, remove from the English mind
a good many common yet unfounded
views of that strange and long sealed
country. ‘The Suppressed Sex” advo-
cates female“equality, on the ground that
*+ the most educated and intelligent wo-
men of the present day are profoundly
dissatisfied with the present relations of
law and society to their sex.” Of course
there can be no reference here to old

The following is an extract from the minu-
tes of a meeting of the Presbytery: of P. E.
Island iu connection with the Church of Scot-

5th inst .—

“After some remarks on the movement
now in agitation, for the purpose of etlecting
serious Changes in the system of Education
at present established, the Presbytery felt
constrained to express their concern for the
injurious consequences to the community,
certain to ensue, should this agitation un-
fortunately prove successful.

© It was theretore resolved that in the opi-
nion of this Presbytery, any attempt to dis-
turb the present schovi system is earnestly to
Le deprecated, inasmuch as this system has
hitherto proved a valuable boon, atid requires
ouly to be conducted with suflicient energy
and liberality, to secure to every district, and
to every child, even ie poorest, the education
reqnisite to elevate the youth of this Colony
tow high position in atuanuments and usetul-
ness; und while this Presbytery would regard
with sincere regret, any attepmtto render in-
effective the present School System, they
would cspecialiy deplore to see it superseded
by another system, which, although nutavow-
edly Sectarian. has evidently for its tendency
ang design to lead to what will necessarily
and immediately partake entirely of tht
character. ‘The introduction of such a sys-
tem would, in the opinion of this Preshytery,

The Union Mutual Lite Assurance
Company” of Boston, now lying beture
us. Now, we ask, what better invest-
ment against the time to come can any
young or middle aged man want than this?
fue amount to be paid in the above case
is about £10, P. lb. Island currency, per
annum, a sum which is annually wested
by many in rum and tobacco, and which
could be saved every yeur with very litule
trouble, Many plead want of means as a
reason for not insuring, but every one
can, by practising a little economy, take
care of a policy for a moderate amount.
Thus a young man at twenty-five, by

Week, or about four cents a day, can se-
cure to his family a thousand dollars at
his decease.

We notice that several very excellent
Life Assurance Companies are now pre-
senting their claims to public attention in
the Dominion and Prince Edward Island.
Among these are * The Canada Life As-
surance Company,” with a capital of one
million dollars, Its Head Office is in
Hamilton, Ontario. Agent in Charlotte-
town, Mr. W. D. Stewart, in Summer-
side, Mr. Joseph Bertram. ‘The New

vertisements of these two Companies in
