THE PEABODY STAiUE IN L

A late nember of the London Times, |
gives in full an account of the inaugural
ceremonies of the Peabody Statue. The)
ore of great in-|

oceasion must have been
terest, for, in addition to a brilliant civic)
procesion, there was a banqtiet at the
Mansion House, given by the Lord Mayor |
und Lady, at which the two most honored
guusts were the Prince of Wales and en
Minister, Mr. Motley. Ilis Royal High-|
ess occupied a seat on the right of the)
ind next to his Excellency |
nerican Minister, on the other hand. )
banquet being over, the guests and}
autnorities were escorted by the}
police and military to the site of the memo- |
vial on the eastern side of the Royal Ex-)
‘change. A great crowd thronged the}
route, the windows and housetops; and
surrounding the memorial was a brilliant |
circle of distinguished ladies and gentle: |
mien. Sir Benjamin Phillips, chairman of
the Memorial Committee, addressed the |
Drisce, in the course of which he rei

wthe-Committee came to the determination |
to intrust the execution of it to his ilustri- |
ous countryman, the equally distinguished |
seulptor, Mr. Story.” |
After commencing the work of art be-|
fore them, Sir Benjamin continued :— |
“Your Royal Highness, let us hope that}
this statue, erected by the sons of free England |
tw the honor of one of Columbia's truest and |
noble t citizens, y be symboli of the)
peace and good will that exist between Ue

Mr. Motley, who also was received with
enthusiastic cheers, made a few brief and

happy remarks. Mr, Story being called
upon for a speech, pointed to his statue

and said ** There itis,” which was reeeiv-

credibly great. ‘Lhere were several fine fields |

of turnips on our route, though not so many
as IL expected. This crop is more cultivated
in other parts of the Island.—'The eer |
of the crops, in many cases, is largely due to
the application of
MUSSEL
in some cases to that of lime, The friable,
fertile soil of the red sandstone formation in
which the Island 1s embraced, is easily ex-
hausted. It requires to get back, in some
way, what it gives up so freely. It does so
when the mussel nud plied. —This con-

greater than that of the amount of the annual
revenue of the Colony—a statement which
I believe comes tar short of the truth. Every-
where we saw the effects of the mud, and
along all banks and creeks the mud itself,
raised and ready to be carted oif to the ficlds.
— When New Brunswickers waste their
winter months in lumbering and neglect
their farms, the Islanders are engagedgin |

NEW GLASGOW.

One of the prettiest settlements we saw on
our trip was New Glasgow. Itis a Scotch
settlement and reveals first-class farming, by |
men who evidently understand their}
business. A fine winding river—one which
runs front the sea, however, like most of the
so-called rivers of the Island, and not to it
—sweeys along its base, called very probably
by the name of the settlement, if nit fondly
by that ofthe Clyde. he settlement rises
gradually above it by a gentle ascent. Here
large fields, regular fences, splendid crojs
and fine residences may be seen. You meet
alittle village of mechanics as you enter it,
and they have provided steam-power fur some
of their operations. —Ilere is the homestead
of the Lainnps, of whom there are six brothers
all in prominent positions, and some of them |
are Union men, as we were glad to discover. |

TILE GRANDEST VIEW

we got on the trip was five or six miles farth-
er on, at Cavendish, near New London. We |
had lett Rastico and its bay and large chapel
and famous Bank close at hand behind, We
had ascended to a fine table land that leoks
out on the Gulf, where the white sails of the
fisherman dotted the vast expanse of waters, |
where the air was soft and pure and yet brace
ing withal.—Taking our stand in the grounds |
near the residence of the Rev. Isaac Murnay |
and sweeping * round ” our ** circle,” we ob-
tained a view of the agricultural and fishing |
industries of that section of the country that
was truly enchanting.
many as five hundred sails of fishermen might
at times, be seen in the Gulf all busily en
gaged in catching mackerel and most ot them
American craft.—Our own jeople seemed
more earnest in search of the wealth of the
land than of the spoils of ocean, but possibly
they may improve in this respect.

Not far from where we stood was another
object of interest but of a different kind. It
was a clergyoan’s library. It was placed in
a quiet manse, and was of very great extent.
ere the products of the great master minds
oftar seperated ages were deposited, and
here, winie the fishermen plied their craft,
and the farmers looked after their crops and
their stock. and the mechanics and traders
persued their respective cullings, a quiet

THE PROWIBITORY LAW.
Of course your readers are already aware

s8 such a law in spite of all the opposition
th was brought to bear against it by an
association of liquor dealers and their friends,
comprising many of the most wealthy men of
the State, who would willingly pour out their
ill-gotten gold to buy off the opposition, if it
were possible. But in spite of their gold,
rum and influence, the law was passed, which,
in my humble opinion, goes strongly to prove
that American politicians are not so Corrupt

matter, openly violated by nuny. ‘The De- |

moral philosophy teaches that man should be
allowed the free exercise of his own will in
these matters, and that it is taking away his
liberty tu dictate what he shall not eat or
drink. Qn the first blush, this sounds reason-
able; but this theory explodes when examin-
ed. Moral Philosophy qualifies it by saying
thit when a man exercises his choice so as to
interfere with ancther man’s liberty, that so-
ciety has a perfect right to control his actions.
Or, in other words, when anything becomes
dangerous to the public welfare, that the pab-
lic are justified in putting a stop to it, even if
it should conflict with personal liberty. For |
it were otherwise, it would be easy to justify |
murder, and like offences by this same
principle.

AFTER THE RAILROAD, WHAT ?
All great revolutions or events which are}
calculated to benefit mankind, invariably
bring in their train many pernicious evils,
which, though unavoidable, often make it
doubtful, after all, if many of those gigantic

Railroad is a case in point, Itis certain that
it facilitates trade and commerce, aud gives a!
fresh impetus to the industry of the country;
but, on the other hand, if it is going to be the
means of scattering through the Wastern States
hordes of semi-civilized Chinamen and Cooh
and building heathen idols and temples even
on Plymouth Rock, as a matter of Political
Economy, it will be a curse instead of a bless-
ing. There are now 100,000 Chinamen in
America, and ship loads are every week being
deposited in California. If there were no
other reasons, the influence of such an amount
of incorrigible idolatry and superstition be-
ing scattered over the land, would be enough
to condemn it, and to make the Government |
forbid their importation. Butthere is anothier |
evil connected with it. Southern planters |
are preparing to introduce them into their |
plantations, and make them work much abont
the same as the negroes used to. ‘They can-
pot become citizens, and they are such chronic
liars that the courts of justice cannot place
the least confidence in their oaths or affirma-
tions. Thus Slavery will again be revived in
another form, but twice as mischigvouy gs

Lynn is also thinking of installing them in

Some again come here on tours of observa-

around their persons, for fear they might, by
some inadyertance, be exposed to the contami-

elongated visages, they march up and court

a TYPO,
LOT 14 TEA AND BAZAAR.

The Tea and Baz

at Lot 14 came off, as
, ay, the 18th instant,
Phe day was all that could be desired—warm
and ple isant; 1 the occasion was honored
with a large and respectable assemt At
unearly hour might be seen crowds of the
yay and light-hearted wending their way to
the Tea Party grounds, and bent on enjoying
the cutertunments and amusements ot the
day. We hope their anticipations were fully
realized. Vive ‘Tea Tables wore set in the
new Church building, which was rather taste-
fully decorated with trees of verdant foliage,
‘This structure is substantially built, and when
completed, will be a credit to the congregation;
and being situated on a gentle acelivity, will
be an ornament to the surrounding country.
‘The entrance arch and the grounds around
the Church were prettily decorated for the
occasion. ‘The tables presented a grand ap-
pearance, and were abundantly supplied with
substantial edibles, which were well intended
to gratify the tastes of the most fastidious,
Great credit is due to the managing commit-
tee for the practical and satisfactory manner
in which they discharged their respective du-
ties. Lhe Ladies, who ‘performed the most
important part, and who so politely presided
at the bountitully supplied tables, are desery-
ing praise forthe kind and generous reception
which they accorded to their visitors.

The Bazaar was held in a small apartment
of the Church. ‘Phere were few fancy and
useful articles exhibited; but those that were
displayed reflected credit upon the skill and
ingenuity of the ladies by whom they were
manntactured. The Bazaar was liberally
patronized, particularly by some fair ladies
with sparkling eyes and charming countenan-
ces—some piragons of beauty—whose pre-
sence at the social meeting had a joyous in-
fluence, and sent a thrill of delight to many
hearts.

‘The music selected for the occasion was
not the most enccanting; nor was the platform
upon which some buoyant and light-hearted
spirits amused themscives by a step ef ‘the
light fantastic toe,” the one best adapted for
such diversion, it being nothing but the bare,
hard-trodden earth. Notwithstanding, all ap-
peared to enjoy themselves, and after the
happy entertainments were at an end, the
jovial company dispersed, highly pleased with
the day’s proceedings. The whole was a fair
of success, the sum of about £45 having been
| realized,

One particularly odd personage partook of
this splendid entertainment, and the marvel-
lousness of the incidents that occurred in re-
ference to him, deserve briefly to be noticed.
It was the notorious pseudo Freemason whose
disgusting, putrescent effusions are sometimes
visible in print, and who is noted for taking
landscape observations. With his long, crane-
like neck fully extended, he was looking to
the cast and to the west, and to the north and
to the south. ‘Then, standing steadfast and
perfectly erect, he raised his huge and lofty
head towards the upper regions; and lo! he
fell into a state of torpitude. In this condi-
tion he experienced many changes. At one
time he believed himself transformed into a
blowing porpoise, swimming in ‘that place
known as the narrows,” and at another time
he felt himself metamerphosed into a large
potato. After putting himselt through various
siinilar evolutions, he suddenly took his fight,
and safely lodged himself on the ‘lands cov-
ered with the verdure of the spruce.” Indeed
an extremely wonderful occurrence !

Thus ended the grand atfair.— Com.

PRINCE ARTHUR'S VISIT.

Saturpay next, 28th August, 1869,
will be signalised in the annals of Prince
Edward Island, by the arrival of Prince
Anruvn, of England, in Charlottetown,
‘Those of our readers who ren.ember the
visit of the Prince of Wales to our
shores, a few yeurs ago, will be under no
anxiety as to the capabilities of the Char-
lottetonians to give Prince Arthur a fit-
ting reception, ‘The heart of our coun-
try is sound and loyal, and in Charlotte-
town attachment to the Throne and Con-
stitution is a most prominent characteris-
tic of all its people, und of the whole Is-
land,

His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, is
one of the most popular personages in
Great Britain. Independent of the rela-
tion he bears to our Sovereign, his pri-
vate character is all that could Le wished.
While the Duke of Edinburgh has chosen
the Navy for his profession, his younger
brother, now visiting us, has selected the
Army. His interest in his work, augurs
well for his own future, and that of Great
Britain. The sons of Victoria are no
mere carpet Knights; but are rising
through all the degrees of their profession
by hard study and strict discipline. The
Soldier Prince seems very popular with
his brother officer: On the 3lst July
last, he was entertained at a farewell ban-
quet at Woolwich, preparatory to leaving
for Canada to join the Rifle Brigade.
The Duke of Cambridge having proposed
his health, Prince Arthur said in reply :
“The commendation and good will of
such distinguished officers as those now
present, I do not esteem lightly, and re-
gard such a reception as one of the high-
est honours that could fall to the lot of
any soldier, It has been the greatest
pleasure of my life to be associated with
the Royal Artillery at Woolwich, and I
trust to continue worthy of the good feel-
ing which you have evinced toward me
this evening.”

The acquisition of the Prince to the
great Empire, now in embryo, on the
northern part of America, is highly sug-
gestive. Britioh North Aicriva bas set
its face like flint against Republicanism.
British North America would much
sooner prefer the bold, wise, and happy
government of a Prince of the Royal
blood, and would much sooner intrust
its destinies and safety into his hands,
himself a soldier, than into the hands of
an administration liable to be set
up and pulled down at the dictation of
an Irish, German or Chinese party. A
brilliant future consequently foreshadows
itself to Prince Arruvur in Canada, He
las only to win the hearts of the people,
to render himself worthy of their confi-
dence, to be faithful to his influential
name and family, and in all probability,
in a few years the Dominion will inau-
gurate a trans-Atlantic Guelph dynasty,
by calling him to its throne !

If the Prince shovld pass tbis way,
tuking the usual route of travel, we trust
that he may be induced to land. A driye
into the surrounding country, and a Pic-
Nic, such as is proposed in Halifax,
would give our people an opportunity to
take ‘tan observation” of the Royal
stranger. Ifhe does not land, then a
deputation of our principal citizens: should
wait upon him at the steamer. We
should know at once, by telegraph, whe-
ther the Prince is coming this way, so
as to give our country friends and all
others a fair chance to see him, ‘A
word to the wise is sufficient.”

We hear that one of the propositions
made by the Dominion Government to the
people of this Island, if they join the Con.
federation, is the construction of a line
of Railway from Alberton to Georgetown
This isa big bait, and ought to catch
some good fish. No doubt but that it
would be readily swallowed by such loose
fish as the Iderald's ‘* small fry,” if the
Queen's Printing was on the hook.

New Sir Suep.—A Large Ship Shed,
owned by William Richards, Esq , of Port
Hill. is now in course of erection in his
siipyard at New Boedeford. ‘Tha. dim-
ensions of this large structure are; length
162 leet; bredth 62 feet, hight of post 30
feet, The frame is made ot very heavy
material, and is put together ina sub-
stantial and) workmanship manner. Its
stong, but neat appearance does credit
tothe person under whose snperintendence
is was planned aad erected. This is the
first shed constructed on this Island for
the purpose of building vessels under it;
and we hope it will not be the for it
must certainly be an advantage to those
whose business isin that line, Vessels
builtunder such a covering are classed tor
one year longer than those exposed to the
weather in building. It will also protect
persons employed under it from the ine
clemency of the weather; and consequent-
ly, it will be a convenience and benefit to
them, for they will be able to perform
their work without interruption, and with-
out loss of time. Its dimensions are suf-
ficiently large to admit ot building a
vessel under it of about 800 tons, e
are pleased to see that the facilities for
shipbuilding on this Island, are increas-
ing. |

A oom

TIAnrvest has commenced. Several farm-
ers have cut oats and wheat, and daring
the incoming week large quantities of
grain will be harvested. The weather has
been yery favorable for farm work, as well
as for the growth of the crops, ‘The pota-
toe crop looks very well; although in some
localities we have noticed a little blight on
the vines. It appears in spots on the
leaves, and gradually extends over the
The result may be, in such cases,
the decay of the tubers. ‘Those planted
very early seem to have escaped the blight.
We shall be glad to hear from our Farmer
readers concerning this and other crops.

We learn by telegraph, that THis Royal

Bia Freient.—On Friday night last the
Steamer Princess of Wales had the largest
freight shipped this Summer. From Char-
lottetown she took 24 horses, 26 bbls eggs,
and 7 firkins of butter, From this port
she took 10 horses, 20 bbls. eggs, 30 tubs
butter, 200 bushels oats, and other freight.

Can-mMrEN.—It is said that Summerside
beats the Capital in respect to covered
coaches in attendance when the steamer
arrives and departs. We noticed four
in attendance the other day,

publish in to-day’s paper, a very interest-
ing description of New Glasgow and other
parts of the Island, as seen by the editor
of the St. John Telegraph.

DisGraceruL SceNe.—A most shameful
scene took place on Water Street, on Mon-
day evening last. A lot of men.and boys
made a poor man, whois a victim to in-
temperance, the object of their cruelty.
They first made him drunk, and then black-
ened his face, tore his clothes, and then
pelted him with eggs. ‘Those who took
part in thus ill-treating the poor drunken
individual we refer to, ought to have been
punished, The man who gave him the
liquor should h: ve his license taken away.
The poor drunken fellow got so mad from
the effects of bad rum and _ ill-treatment,
that he would have committed some crime
had it not been for the timely interference
of the Sheriff and Magistrate Delaney.

Visirors.—A number of strangers have
come to our Island during the past two or
three weeks, A great many of them
landed here and took a coach to Char-
lottetown, in order to see the country. The
American Consul, of St. John, and his
family, were among the many who landed
here last week.

Sernoo. Marenrat.—We have received
an Illustrated Catalogue of School Furni-
ture, from J. W. Schermerhorn & Co., of
New York. We wonder that the Colleges
and Schools in this Island do not introduce
such gymnastic apparatus as is described
in this pamphlet, and such as are used in
the schools in the United States. This
apparatus is now regarded by some educa-
tors as almost as indispensable in physical
training as agricultural implements are in
suecesslul firming.

Mr. MeKay has commenced to put up
the telegraph wire onthe line between
here and Alberton.

Exuipirion.—The Industrial Exhibition
for King’s County, will be held in George-
town on Wednesday, the 6th October next

Referring to the progress of the Island,
within his recollection, the Rey. R.S. Pat-
terson, of Bedeque, speaks as follows in a
letter in which he gives an account of a recent
visit to Cascumpec :—

“Somewhere about 43 years ago, I visited
Cascumpec for the first time. ‘here were
then no carriages in this part of the country,
nor fit roads on which to drive them, The
western road was not made; few rivers were
briged. My journey to Cascumpec was pere
formed part on horseback, part on foot, part
on land, and part on water, crossing rivers
and Walking through portayes- IL was the
chief part of three days in getting to Cascum-
pee from Bedeque, But now I can leave my
own house in the morning, and arrive at Cas-
cumpec in the evening of the same day,trayel-
Inig with my own horse and wagon,”

On Thursday last as Mr. Edward Doolan,
of South Shore,was engaged in collecting sca
weed, he found the body ofa man which had
been washed ashore, and had apparently been
some time in the water, Dr. Beer held an’
inquest on the afternoon of the same day,
when the body was identified as that of Angus
McRae, of Belfast, who sailed with Capt,
Ross, in the unfortunate Sch. Alma, from
Pictou, with » lond of coal. The body was
brought to town for interment. We deeply
sympathize with the bereaved relatives. —J’at,
