‘* It is a fine thing to honor one’s coun- try,’ and I am not aware that there is ‘anything about Prince Edward Island, which should make a man or woman ashamed to own it as a birthplace. It is ‘“‘a native land”’ of which any one may be honestly proud. Men who have gained wealth as the result of their own energy and industry, have as much right to ‘* pride” themselves upon it here, as men of any other country have ; and there is certainly nothing about Island “‘ intellect,” to cause any Islander to hang his head. College records, both at home and abroad, are no disgrace to this tight little gem of the sea. Positions which ‘‘successful Islanders” have filled and now occupy, the wide world over, speak to their superior intelligence.

As to the “‘society” of this Island, the less “Steeple Cleydon” says abont it the better for his own sake. It is a deliberate faisehood to insinuate that Islanders look upon themselves as superior to all the rest of creation. In the name of common sense, what sort of society must this scribbler have mingled in, if he cannot find men and women here, fit to rank among the most refined and best people of any country. The people of the Island are celebrated for the spirit of kindness and hospitality which they ever display—none the less so, if they cannot appreciate such vipers as the detrac- \tor against whom I write. Island girls, j too, peed not be ashamed of their personal |cbarms; they may not have the painted ‘beauty of that high-toned society which Steeple so longs for; they do not shock public morals with the outrageous scandals which are ever cropping out from among the ‘‘most refined’ people as home. The average Island girl displays a beautiful innocence in every word and action— heaven's gift to true women— which would add lustre to the highest circles of any land; a lustre which, alas ! is often sadly wanting in the very society which your cranky cor- respondent would have us emulate.

It makes one blood boil to see a whole people called a ‘‘nuisance,” ‘‘Wherever they obtain a footing, they make them- selves a nuisance” says he, and he drags us inio Canadian politics. He should under- stand that this Island asks nothing from the Parliament of Canada but our just rights, and until those rights sre granted, we will vaake our voices heard. Ottawa may listen to us ‘‘with something between @ yawn and a sneer,” and evidently ‘Steeple Cleydon” thinks it is what we fully deserve, and should only expect. | Steeple should make Ottawa his permanent

June number of the Nineteenth Century entitled **What do the Irish read?” The article coutains the result of the author's observations of the course of a rambling ex- cursion recently made in various rural dis- tritts of Ireland in search of health. He says that he was confronted at evary stage of his travels with evidence of the ‘vast in- fluence of the Irish national league reading rooms in the villages, and as the Catholic young men’s societies in the towra, in fos- tering the state for nationalist literature. The results already accomplished in mould- ing the minds of the people are apparent on every hand. ‘The Irishmen of to-day have,” the writer asserts, ‘‘in addition to their national adroitness in argument and their love of disputation, a complete equip- ment of facts, references, and historical ex- ample, which makes them very formidable debaters. Their voluntary taste in their choice of literature is shown to be intensely patriotic by the fact that while the libraries contain nomberless works of ‘fiction, poetry and travels, these are comparatively neg- lected, and the books mostly in demand are those which deal with Ireland’s wrongs, the history of her relations with England, and the narratives of the schemes and hopes for her independence.”

The Caneda Gazette contains the Govern- ment notice reducing canal tolls on wheat, Indian corn, oats, barley and rice, shipped from Montreal or any other Capadian port east of Montreal, from twenty cents to ten cents a ton, for the present season of navi- gation only.

The trade between the United States and the Mosquito Coast is increasing. Fruit, coffee, tortoise shells, hides and rubber are the principal exports from the Cuast. It is expected that mahogany and cedar wood will also be largely exported. New Orleans is trying to get the lead in this trade. Buy Wrexs & Co’s, Tea,

States, England and Germany are to remain out in the cold.

Tolls on the Canadian canals are certainly doomed. Free canals in New York State determined the route of a large portion of the grain traffic, and if Canada expects to get any of this she must hold out the inducement of free canals. It is incontro- vertable that the cheapest water route is in the end the one most generally used.

One of the leading farmers of Dutchess County, New York, states that the damage in that county alone by the frost will reach nearly $1,000,000. From counties on the Hudson River reports are nearly alike, and the total Camage is enormous. Reports from U)ster County show the damage to fruit and other crops will amount to over $500,000. Scores of farmers in every county in the Hudson River Valley lose from $5,000 to $10,000.

John C. Eno, defaulting president of the Marine National Bank of New York, who has stolen $4,000,000, was arrested in Quebec on the 31st, on board the Dominion steamship Vancouver, just as that vessel was leaving port for Liverpool. Eno, with a companion who was dressed as a priest, took passage on the Vancouver at Montreal and came down to Quebec on board the ship on Thursday—a most unusual thing for travellers to do—as Quebec is invariably the port of embarkation.

In its last article on the state of trade, the Moutreal Guzette says: ‘‘That the spring season has been and is disappointing is generally conceded, ail the markets, without exception, having worn an appear- ance of quietness, if not of absolute dul!. nese. The distribution of merchandise has been invariably based on the actual require- ments, and the disposition still is, and will probably remain so, to stave off purchases until the last possible moment. This cautious method of buying will, in all like- lihood, be adhered to until a good barvest has been placed berond all peradventure. In the meantime the prospects are favor- able, although the present cold weather has given rise to sore anxiety. The wheat lcrop in the West, it may be stated, looks in excellent condition, and bears ipromise of en abundant yield, which lit is to be hoped will be realized. As we have said in previous issues the amount of 'stocks carried is generally light, to which rule there are few exceptions, and any great ‘accession to the demand for goods would have a stimulating effect on prices, a result which would be welcomed by merchants all over the country. While the situation is |admittedly characterized by decided quiet- /ness, the outlook is viewed with confidence, although it cannot be said to contain many cheering features. Payments, however, continue to be met with a fair degree of promptitude, but in several cases collections are reported difficult to make especially ‘among the smalier deaiurs.”
