“Whila in the lower provincesJ visited Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. The Island. called after the Queen‘s father. is about 46 miles square or rather that would be the measurement it it was rcgu- larly shaped. It. is fertile and healthy. ill forul somethin like a crescent. and sep- arated by tile A orlhumbei'land Strait from the mainland. It was called tutlle British Crown by thoTrcaty of 1763. and curioualy divided, like a good-sized hot cross bun. into lots or sections. which Wcre distribut- ed by lottery nluongst officers and others who had claims upon tllu homo Govern— ment. These seigl-lorbll rights hindered the growth aml enterprise of the papilla- lien for some years. btlt every effort is now made to develupo both their physical and industrial resources. There is l\ local Legislature. and it Governor. ltlld all the appliances of Government on the Island. and they do not feel disposed to enter into Confederation. having. as they shrewdly say, nothing to gain and little to loose. and actually boasting thcillselves of their in- sigllilicauce tcrritorially considcred. be- cause they think they off‘cr no temptations to the greed of any covetous neighbor. Charlottetown is a pleasant place. and cell- tains about 7.000 people. Some of the bays are very fine. and the sail to l'ictou, ill Nova Seutia. especially so. The steam- ers engaged on these services are built with saloons on deck. after the fashion of the St. Lawrence and Hudson llivcr steam- ers. For a river acrril'e llll-se lulluvcr wl-ll. but one would hardly think them suitable to traverse stormy seas."
