Notes and Clippings.
The Berlin News says that Mr. Lau- rier’s speech should commend the Liberal policy to every citizen of the United States.
Mr. Howard Vincent again proposes this session to ask the British House of Commons to take practical steps to secure the commercial union of the empire.
a Sir John Macdonald condemns the length of the speeches delivered in Parlia- ment. He says that a good many of them are not speeches, but essays. The Premier could point out these facts with some grace, because he seldom sins in this way.
If it be true that birds in their little nests agree, then the fact is established that the Liberals are devoid of ornithologi- cal characteristics, whatever that may be. The outward semblance of unity is a flimsy sham, for, as a family, they are sadly di- vided.
-The death of Mrs. D. D. Moore will be lamented by many persons. The sound of her voiee will not soon be forgotten. Bat her bereaved husband and friends wili not sorrow as those without hope. Her mor- tal remains were interred this afternoon in Sherwood Cemetery.

—- Wth the Journal we regret the death of Captain A. C. Macleod, of Kensington.
The Journal says: Mr. McLeod was for many years a prominent business man at New London and Kensington, where his
genial disposition won him many friends. Ho was a brother of Messrs. W. W. Mac- leod, P. O. Inspector, Winnipeg, and Leslie E. Macleod, associate editor of Wallace's Monthly. To the bereaved family we tender our sincere sympathy.
Grit Inconsistencies.
Tus Parliamentary correspondent of the Montreal Gazette remarks that some amus- ing Inconsistencies have characterized the Liberals in the debate on the budget. Hon. Mr. Tupper pointed out the striking con- trast between Sir Richard Cartwright’s speech of 1875 and his speéch last week, when in the former he told the people that the construction of the Canada Pacitic Rail- way was an object for which the Govern- ment might well call upon our people for any reasonable sacrifice, and added that it was better to undergo in peaceful fashion the ordeal to which all countries which have achieved any real greatness have had sooner or submit io, though for the most part it had come in the shape of wasting and desolating war. Then Mr. Charlton followed with a speech in which he ridiculed the idea of Canada endeavoring to encourage trade with China and Japan, Patagonia, Samoa, Yhahati, Uganda, the Upper Congo or with Barria-Bhoola-ga, ete. But the hon. gentleman from North Nor- folk probably forgot his remarks of 1878 on Canada’s foreign trade, when he said :— ‘Why didthe benevolent Creator of the heavens and the earth give us different zones, different soils, different races and tastes‘ Why did we push our commercial relations with remote countries? He did all these things in order that we might ad- vance our comfort, our happiness and our learning.”” A couple of years before that Mr. Charlton was not a commercial union- He was a protectionist, and said: ** I] believe that the interests of the nation at large (Canada) would be promoted by judi- cious protection. We have at our doors all the illustrations and experience of protec- tion and its benefits required for our gov- ernment and guidance. The United States had adopted a protective policy under which their manufactories have been fos- tered and promoted, until in 1870 their products reached the sum of $4,259,000,000, giving employment to 2,000,000 operatives, and disbursing $775,500,000in wages. The shipping interest of the United States was
ne of the most signal illustrations of the benefits of a protective policy that could be produced.”

St. Patrick.
The Life of St. Patrick, from a manu- script of Nennius, in the Vatican Library, edited, in the tenth century, by Mark. the Hermit, will be interesting to many™ per- sons, in view of the celebration on Monday next:
‘In those days, St. Patrick was a captive among the Scots. His master’s name was Milechu, to whom he was a swineherd for seven years. When he had attained the age of seventeen, he gave him his liberty. By the divine impulse, he applied himself to reading of the Scriptures and afterward went to Rome, where, replenished with the Holy Spirit, he continued a great while studying the sacred mysteries of those writings. During his con- tinuance there, Palladius, the first Bishop, was sent by Pope Celestinus to convert the Scots. But tempests and signs from God pre- vented his landing—tor no one can arrive in any country, except it be allowed from above. Altering, therefore, his course from Ireland, he came to Britain and died in the land of the Picts. The death of Palladius being known, the Roman patricians, Theodosius and Valen- tinas, then Regnant, Pope Celestinus sent Patrice to convert the Scots to the faith of the Holy Trinity, Victor, the Angel of God, ac- companying, admonishing and and assisting him, and also the Bishop Germanus. German- us then sent the ancient Segerus with him as a venerable and praiseworthy Bishop to King Matheus, who lived near and who had pre- science of what was to happen. He was con- secrated in the reign of that king by the Holy Pontit, assuming the name of Patrick, having hitherto been known by that of Manun. Auxilias, lserninus, and other brothers, were ordained with him to inferior degrees. Hav- ing distributed benedictions and perfected all in the name of the Holy Trinity, he embarked on the sea which is between the Gauls and the Britains, and after a quick passage arrived in Britain, where he preached for some time. Every necessary preparation being made, and the angel giving him warning, he came to the Irish Sea, and having filled the ship with foreign gifts and spiritual treasures, by the permission of God he arrived in Ireland, where he baptized and preached. From the
beginning of the world te the fifth year of King Logiore, when the Irish were baptized and _ faith
inthe unity of the individual Trinity was published to them, there are five thousand three hundred and thirty years. St. Patrick taught the Gospel in foreign nations for the space of forty years. Imbued with apostolic powers, he gave sight to the blind, cleansed the leper, gave hearing to the deaf, cast out devils, raised men froin the dead, redeemed many captives of both sexes at his own charge and set them free in the uame of the Holy Trinity. He tavght the servants of God, and he wrote three hundred and sixty-five canoni- cal and other books, relating to the Catholic faith. Hefounded as many churches, and couseciated the same number of bishops, strengthening them with the Holy Ghost. He ordained three thousand presbters, and con- verted and baptized twelve thousand pergons in the province of Caunaught, and in one day baptized seven kings, who were the seven sons of Amolgith. He continued fasting forty days and forty nights, on the summit of the mountain Kli, that is Cruach-Angli, and pre- ferred three petitions to God for the Irish that embraced the faith. The Scots say the tirst was that Hewonld recive every repenting sinner even at the latest extremity of life. The second, that they should never be exter- minated by barbarians; and the third that as Ireland will be overflowed with water seven years before the coming of our Lord to judge the quick and the dead, that the crimes of the people might be washed away through His in-
tercession, and their souls purified at the last day. He gave the people his benediction from the upper part of the mountain, and going up higher that he might pray for them, and that if it pleased God he might see the effccts of hislabor, there appeared to himaninnumerable flock of birds of many colors, signifying the number of holy persons of both sexes of the Irish nation who should come to him as their apostie at the day of judg- ment, to be presented before the tribunal ef Christ. After a life spent in the active
exercise of good to mankind, St. Patrick, in
a healthy old age, passed from this world to the Lord, changing this life for a better. With the saints and the elect of God he rejoices for ever more.
**Saint Patrick resembles Moses in four particulars: The angel spoke to him in the
burning bush. He fasted forty days and forty nights upon the mvuuntain. He attained
the period of one hundred and twenty years.
No one knows his sepulcher nor where he was buried.
‘* In his twenty fifth year he was consecrat-
ed Bishop by King Matheus. He was eighty-
five years the Apostleof theIrish. It might be
profitable to treat more at large of the life of this Saint, but it is now time to conclude this epitome of his labor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The Government Poor House. Srr,— I wish to call the attention of the Government and the public to the manage- ment of the above institution, In order to do so I ain going to refer to the case of a young man who was taken from the P. E. island Hospital nearly a year ago, because he was an incurable. He was taken out to the Poor House, and as there was no suit- able place, had to be put in a room where several others (sick and well) live and sleep. He is in consumption and suffers very much. One excuse why he was taken from the hospital was that lis cough was so bad that he disturbed the other patients. He has to take the same food and attention as those who are well get, or go without, un- less the few who yisit thers occasionally bring him something. If persons do get in- to such a position in which they can’t help themselves, surely they should be taken care of in this land of plenty and comfort.
Recently, one of the inmates, suffering very much from a gathering or swelling on one ot the limbs, was refused a liniment by the attending physician. A lady visitor took compassion on her and sent her some- thing to apply to it, which gave her relief. Why is there such a difference between
the money and care expended cn the Lunatic Asylum and the Poor House} We woul’ not expect the
same amount of money to be spent on each iustitution, but surely there is great rocm for improvement in the manasement of the Poor Hoase. The present building is uniit for the purpose, on account of there not being suflicient room : and in the win- ter the inmates suffer from cold. Why not take the old Lunatic Asylum and utilize it, A place could be separated for those who are infirm and need better attention than others. An objection may be raised that if the poor are made too comfortable the Government would be imposed upon. That matter eould be obviated, I should thfuk,

and even if it did happen in a few instances it were better so than deserving persons should suffer.
I would also call the attention of those who have love in their hearts to suffering humanity, not to forget to visit these people and take something to relieve the monotony of their existence, and make them feel that they are not entirely forgotten. ‘*It is more blessed to give than to re- ceive.” ‘‘Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me.”—see Matt. xxv— 37 —40.

Percy Pope’s excellent lecture, last night, showed well the inabilities of the human mind.
The speakers all seemed very much in the dark, as to the meaning of some things the lecturer had said, and did not profess to have a very clear grasp of the subject themselves It sooms to mo that as long as we attempt to explain religion by science, our task will be ‘* stale, flat and unprofit- able.” We can arrive at the knowledge of the being of a Creator through His works ; but to understand at all His nature and mode of working on man’s mind, we must look to the revelation He has given of Him- self.
All human science is incomplete. We look at chemistry, astronomy, geology or metaphysics, and we see that they are not, to-day, what they were fifty years ago, and they will not be the same to-morrow *§ they are to-day. But in God's revealed religion-—the same yesterday, to-day and forever—we have acomplete system. To it all science must be referred, and by it explained. It is the universal science harmonizing and completing all the others. | As the Poet-Laureate has well said, —
‘* Our little systems have their day ;
They have their day, and cease to be ; They are but broken lights of Thee, And thou, O Lord, art more than they.”
And if we strive to reach the truth in any matter or science, without reference to God’s revelation, we shal be like
‘* An infant crying in the night ; An infant crying for the light ; And with no language but a cry.” Yours &c., Lux.

More About @uacks.
Sir,—From time to time letters have, during the past year, appeared in THe Ex- AMINER, urging protection by law from the practice of alleged medical quacks. A few words from another standpoint may now be in order. That quacks exist will be freely admitted—they are, in fact, more numer- ous than those whe really have a practical knowledge of medicine; but quack or no quack, when they send their bill, the in- valid must *‘ pay the piper.” There are now in our midst men jn practice, some of whom have not graduated from regular colleges, and others again who come from schools where no entrance examination is held, and where the graduates of the two years’ course obtain a ‘“* license to slay,” while they are often grossly ignorant of the rudiments of an ordinary,English edycation, Now, if a law is passed to keep quacks out, how about the law that keeps quacks in? I fear the profession is getting overcrowd- ed, and protection mugt be afforded those here or they cannot obtain sufficient fees. The public have a right to employ whoever they please, and any interference on the part of the Government, tending to foster monopoly should not be tolerated. I am not sure Hon. D. Gordon was not half right in his remarks regarding the profes- sion. At any rate, if a law is passed let it
