The Great Desert and Mount Sinai,
UBIQUITOUS BRITISH TRADERS. A Hot Climate where the Sun is High.
Letter from Rev. D. D. Moore.
Rev. D. D. Moore writes from Aden on the 11th August :—‘‘ We laid at Port Said a few hours for the purpose of coaling. Setting foot for the first time upon the soil of Africa and Egypt produces strange sen- sations, and sets in motion peculiar trains. of thought. The flowing Arabian dresses are picturesque and dignified, but it is a most dangerous spot to wander in, for these ports contain the most desperate characters of this part of the world. Great scow loads of coal, worked by Africans, wait on our ship, and as they return to shore, fifty big black fellows, covered with black cloth, head and all, to keep off the sun’s fierce rays—one fellow standing up to steer the lighter—Dante’s Inferno is at once sug- gested, andewe gaze upon the picture of Charon ferrying dark lost souls across the Styx. Passing through the Suez Canal we saw many strange mirages hovering over the great desert. What a vast stretch of glowing, dazzling sand it is !—very little sign of vegetation, except at the pretty stations along the margin—where palms, tamarisks and cultivated gardens indicate the possibility of the coming time when the great ‘* desert shall blossom as the rose.” Now and then we see an Arab yillage, and camels slowly sailing across the undulating ocean of sand, patiently carrying their freightage. At sunset the scene is charm- ingly strange and weird. First, flushes of rose-colored light, falling aslant the wide, wavy expanse; then the hues fading to purple, violet, grey, and then the deepen- ing, sudden shadowing up of the short twi- light, and it is night. Immediately the electric light from our great ship pours its glorious flood of illumination for miles ahead in a vast inverted, widening wedge of silver. Other vessels are steaming close behind, throwing a stream of dazzling rays upon us as we are grouped upon the poop- deck. Nine out of every ten ships passing through this canal are English, showing the immense amount of British trade that is done in these waters. Rushing through the Red Sea at sixteen miles an hour, away to ‘the right are Zoar and the plain of Abra- ham’s pilgrimage. With reverent eye we gaze upon the great Sinai, from which God spake, as it lifts up its crown shaped head fifty miles from the shore along which we sail. At some point we cross the track of Israel, marching through the Red Sea as its affrighted waters stood on an heap. There is grand scenery of the bolo volcanic sort all along the shore of Araby and Africa. The scarified cliffs assume the strongest forms and oftentimes are banded and cloud- ed with wreaths of yellow sand blown into every sort of shape by the strong whirling winds of the great desert. You have no conception of the terrible heat through which we have been passing. The altitude of the sun, the almost continuous cloudless- ness of the sky, the arid, rainless character of the shores, the surrounding deserts of burning sand, and the complete absence of rivers, combine to maxe_ these regions the hottest perhaps, in the world, Around the horizon in every direc- tion the rarified air is seen in glowing radi- ating palpitations, enswathing the shores and the jagged rocks and mountains beyond. At 8.30 p. m. the intense heat and glare of the ruby sea have been succeeded by a lovely night, fanned by cool and gentle zephyrs. During a southwest squall mul- titudesjof locusts were carried out to us from the coast of Abyssinia. The sea was full of them, and numbers fell on our decks. We have had some delightful services on board, both in the saloon and on the beautiful spar deck beneath the tent-like awning illumin- ated with electric incandescent lights. It was inspiring to raise our voices in our sweet and grand old hymns of atonement and faith not far from the shadow of Siniai and the great ‘‘desert of sin,” where ‘* Moses lifted up the serpent.” Our next and last port of call, before reaching Singapore, will be Colombo, in Ceylon.

St. John Exhibition.
The work of preparation for the Exhibi- is making most satisfactory progress, and the number of entries being made is both large and varied. Although the date for receiving entries has expired, the commit- tee is still accepting applications in all sections where it is possible to accommo- date them. Having made arrangements for the exhibition of Agricultural imple- ments and a number of other bulky classes in the grounds, has enabled them to afford additional space,—arrangements having since been made for excluding many articles which are not of domestic manu- factvre or production. This will add very much to the variety of the exhibits, thus enabling the association to accept appli- cations through which a eos number of local productions will be in- cluded, which would otherwise have been chut out. An extension of the time for receiving entries in the Live-stock section, owing to increased accommodation having been provided, has also added a large num- ber of important entries in that class. In accordance with the request of a large the association have arranged that all classes of live-stock may be withdrawn on the evening of the 30th inst.

The ill-feeling against Canadian railroads which Congress entertains was displayed on Saturday when the Senate adopted an amendment to the Tariff Bill striking at the traffic in tea carried on by theCanadian Pacific and its steamship lins. Henceforth if the House agrees, tea entering the United States by that route is to be sub- jected to a differedtial tax of 10 per cent. ad valorem.

A Greater Free Trade Union
(New York Sun.)
This part of a recent speech by John Serman seems to be still receiving consid- erable publicity :
“The arguments for free trade between Canada and the United States are almost as strong as they are between the several States of the Union.”
May Senator Sherman live to see the day when Canada becomes a part of the greatest free trade union ever known between the United States of America. Untilthen better leave things between these two countries as they are.

Fishing Report.
Szpr. 9th.—Codfishing is reported good at Pasbeviac (Que.,) but bait scarce. There is still nothing doing at Excuminac, N. B. At Tignish and Kildare, P. E. I., ¢yester- day, boats averaged about 290 mackerel each, but both at those places and through- out the whole vicinity of Alberton fish were somewhat scarce this morning. From six hundred to one thousand mackerel per boat are reported taken to-day at Lakeville, but none at Souris. There is still poor fishing throughout the whole cost of Cape Breton, bait being universally scarce. At Louis- burg the boats procured sufficient small mackerel for bait and took about one quin- tal of cod each. At Canso, C. B., net fishermen are doing very rly ; squid getting scarcer every day. About 15 bank- ers were baited to-day, and left for Banks. Herving are reported plentiful along the shore at Lunenburg, and fair catches are being made at Port Mouton. Codfish is also good at Lunenburg, but mackerel scarce. Fishing of all kinds is reported poor at Port Medway, cod poor at ke- port, but hake fair, At Campobello, N. B., sardines are abundant and good catches of sxuid are being made, Trawling, hand line fishing, mackerel and net fishing are fair.
Railroads in England and the States,
A comparison between the railway statistics of Great Britain and the United States is made by a correspondent of the London Times, The year 1889 was one of p pros- perity in both countries, and in both the gross revenue of railways was much larger than iv the preceding year. The figures for 1889 are £200,755,000 in the United States and £77,- 025,000 in the United Kingdom. But there is much less difference between the net earn- ings, which were £64,457,000 in the States and 36,930,000 ia the United Kingdom. This means that the British railways are much more profitable than the American railways in = po-tion to the amount“of work done. he American mileage is 161,396 miles, or eight times the mileage of Great Britain; and the American linescarried during the year 619,250, - 000,000 tons, against 297,500,000 tons carried nothe British lines thelatter, however, carried more than 775,000,000 passengers, against 495,000,000 carried by the American railways, but the average distance travelled upon- the Ameriean lines was probably much greater. Many persons will be surprised to learn that both freight and passengers are carried more cheaply in the United States than in England. The average rate for freight in the United States is less than 1 cent per ton per mile, u decline of a third of a cent since 1882. The rate in Great Britain is nearly three times as much and shows nosignof a decline. The average rate for passengers in the United States is 2.17 cents, a little more than the penny per mile which third-rate passengers are charged in Great Britain. It must be borne in mind, however, that nearly nine- tenths of the British passengers travel third- class.

The Berlin papers refer sarcastically to Edison as “the man of promises.” It seems that twelve months ago Edison promised to send tne Emperor a _ phono- graph and afterwards cabled that the instrument was on its way to Berlin. His Majesty invited a large party to see the machine, which, however, did not turn up at the appointed time. To e matters worse, several letters addressed to Edison by the Emperor's orders remain unan-
swered.
