To the Lditor of the Examiner.

Sir,— As you referred to wy other letter, perhaps you will kindly insert this. You say thatowhy Mr. “Archibald foists a Nova Scotian on the Railway as a private secre- tary, is hecause he cannot trust people here. This is adding insult to the injury ; and if our Island boys are not fit to be trusted, then it would be best to discharge all our hoys and fill the Railway from end to end with Nova Scotiaus, if they are the only trustworthy people in the world. But Mr. Macnab came here a stranger, and I never heard of him bringing a man, and I sup- pose be fonnd onr boys trustwerthy, or we should have heard of it, likelys Ll for one resent the insult that is placed on our boys, and again we have boys here as well fitted, to dothe duties of private secretary, or anything else, and we look to our ineum- bents, to protect our interests and prevent our Railway becoming a refuge for Nova Scotians

Justin McCarthy on the Hope of Ireland.

Mr. McCarthy, says the New York Herald, expresses the belief that the Irish have more to expect from Lord Beadonstield than from the Liberals. We are iuclined toagree with him. Beaconsfield) has ex- pressed advanced views as tothe manner of treating Ireland. He is a beld man, and himself on the burning reform question far ahead of his party and strong enough to lead it against its will. If he were younger, we might look for alarge and wise measure of reform fur Ireland. As it now stands, Mr. McCarthy sees nothing for Ireland but to agitate and agitate until the government acis.. The expression of so firm an opinien by a tem- perate statesman like Mr. McCarthy is one of the most sigmuifieant incidents of this sorrowful and unhappy crisis.

A Convocation of Methodist Ministers is to be held at Windsor, commencing on Wednesday next, for the ‘* promotion of Holiness.” Conventions for this purpose ave frequently held in the United States and England, but this is. the first one in Nova Seotia. Rey. J. G. Pyke, of Windsor is the moving spirit. It is to be held under the patronage of the President of the Conference, and may last two or three days. ‘There will be a large attendance of ministers from al! parts of the Province. Several papers will be read, among them, one by Rev. Mr. Brecken on ‘* Natural Holiness,’ and another by Rev. Mr. Evans, subject: ** Holiness ; «1s it instantaneous or gradual, or both?”

Prince Leopold is in his 27th year, and, like the Princess Beatrice, who is 24, seems disposed to remain in single blessedness, The Princess Royal was married when she was 18, she Prince of Wales when he was 22, the Princess Alice at 19, the Duke of Edinburgh at 20, the Princess Helena at 20, the Princess Louise at 23, and the Duke of Connaught at 29, Prince Leopold, therefore, has two precedents for continu- ing so long unmarried ; but Princess Bea- trice is the only daughter of the Queen, who has not given hand and heart to some happy suiter before attaining her 24th year.

The brigantine ‘* Swiftsure,” of P. E. Is- land, which put into Pictou, Monday, Ist while ou a voyage from Barbadoes to Mon treal with a cargo of sugar, had a hard time of itin the Gulf. The ‘‘Standard” says : ** Several of the crew were prostrated by their privations. One of them, a lad from Annapolis, named Hardwick, had a wonder- ful escape from death. He was aloft work- ing among the rigging, and fell from the mast to the deck—a distance of 90 feet— alighting on his feet. His knee was dis- located, but the injury was so slight that he is now able to be abont.”

The Poisoning of Wells.

It is probable that a large proportion of cases of disease in rura! districts are the result of poison absorbed into the system either from the stomack or the lungs. The Llood is manufactured in the digestive organs froin the food, passes Im preat part through the liver, and all of it through the lungs, in both of which it is filtered and purified, and in the latter it is brought directly into contact with the air which is breathed by inspiration, and is subjected to any deleterions inatter which may be contained init. As the food and drink are the materials of which the blood 4s formed, any unhealthful or poisonous in- Huenee at this prime source, of course, poisons the stream ; and as the function of the lungs is to aerate and purify the blood, anyihing weong in the purifying material interferes with this important vital pro- cc 8&,

But we propose here only to call atten- tion to what we believe to be the most pro- lific source of rural diseases, malarial, fune- tional, and organic in their character. This is the water supply. A cesspool eight feet deep receives the excreta of a family, the wash from a bath-room, water-:losct, and ink included. ‘Thirty or forty gallons a day, equal to nearly 15,000 gallons, or 2,000 cubic feet per year of the most poison- ous filth, are poured into the soil and sat- urate it. Twenty feet only from this dead- ly sink is the wel, mhich is prebabiy sev eral feet deeper than the cesspool. The drainage from this cesspool will flow then in every direction In a circle of twenty feet radius only before it pours into the well. Foweach foot in deptlf of this area there ard about 1,200 cubic feet. In a year the 2,000 enbic feet of waste will completely fill this space of twenty feet around the well to a depth of more than a foot and a half, and in two years to a depth of three and a half feet. But two tlhicgs cannet occupy the same space, and this filth will then be distributed over a larger quantity of ground in proportion to the ration of sulid soil to the small interstices or spaces among the gravel, in the mass. Taking this ratio as only ten to one, the 2,000 cubie feet of waste will saturate 20,000 cubic feet of earth in one year.

[tis true that the soil pear the cesspool will retain the largest portion of the solid matter, and the first water which reaches the well will be filtered to some extent, But it is only a question of time—the lapse of which will depend upon the nature of the subsoil—how long or how short a time willelapse before the poison pours undilut- ed into the well, and fret it into the stom- achs of the unfortunate and unsuspecting victims. Ifa bed of clay lies close to the bottem of the cesspool, there will be no escape downward, and the period required to reach the well will be probably six months. If the soil is gravelly and the waste.sinks downward, there is the abso- lute eertainty that a stream ofawater which flows into the well will be reached sooner or later.

A similar frightful certainty, slowly but surely approaching in theusands of cases, threatens In time to sap the life of unsus- pecting people, who will by and by exhibit every symptom of insidious but fatal dis- order. The hectic cheek, swollen glands, dry hot skin, disordered digestion, bllious derangements, headaches, tremors, diar- rhaea, dysentry, cutaneous eruptions, tu- mors, coated tongne, foul breath, and all the various symptoms by which blood poisoning first becomes apparent, and the tinal deadly typhoid and malignant fevers alarm the consciousness, while the sonrce of the very poison itself is hourly used to allay the fever and thirst accasioned by it.

We do not desi.e to be sensational or to make too munch of this, The danger exists, and is everywhere. The case before us, to which we call the closest attention, is by no means an unusual one. In fact, there are thousands that are greatly more dangerous than this, and every person who cares for his own health and that of the loved ones whom he shelters from harm with tenderest care, should see to it that this prevalent source of danger is eliminated from his household ; and remember that decompo- sing organic matter is the most deadly of all poisons. ~The Ruial New Yorker.

Canavba’s WEATHER PRornuer.-—Mr. Vennor writes under date 28th October, from Sauveur

The present wintery spell will speedily modsrate to mild and probably rainy weather up tothe 5th or Gth November, after which the period of fine ‘‘ Indian summer’’ weather, I some weeks ago predicted, may be expected. This will continue up te the 20th or 25th of the month. Frost will again disappear, and farmers will have a favorable time for their fall ploughing. But after the 20th or the 25th winter ‘*‘ has the floor.”
