Women write most of the English and American novels, though men still ply that industry, and it is women who are most popular in their novels. What has sold so wellas‘*‘ Uncle Tom”? Who in France was read so much as George Sand?! er in England as Charlotte Bronte and George Eliot ? or in Sweden as Fredrike Bremer ? or in America as Miss Alcott ? or now in all countries as Mrs. Ward No wonder that these great successes, and many others that could be named, tempt women to write many poor novels and some g od ones, the | majority being mediocre, however, or neither good nor bad. But mediocrity in novels now is much higher in quality than

[ux operatic concert in Market Hall last eveninz, with which the Oddfellows | concluded their Natal Day celebration, was | in every respect a grand success. The) Hall was especially prepared for the | oceasion, and long before eight o'clock every seat was occupied. ‘The performance opened with selections from the Mikado. The principal characters were taken by Mr. Benjamin Bremner, (Ke Ko), James Davi- son, (Pooh-Bah), and G. F. Beer, (f ish- Tush), They were ably assisted by Miss Florrie Earle (Yum-Yum), Miss Katie Brown, (Pitti-Sing), and the gentlemen who impersonated the nobles and guards, not forgetting the ever present and irrepressible slave with his Ko-Ko-nut protector, The piece was well dressed, and the singing and acting throughout very good indeed. Mr. Bremner’s conception of the character of Ko-Ko was capital, and his local hits | ‘brought down the house.” eyed

Davison aud Beer also sang and acted their

parts well, Miss Earle’s performances were

up to her usual high standard, and Miss Brown sung well, making a very) favorable impression on her first appearance The second part consisted of a solo by Mrs. |

Montreal Gazette : Newfoundland’s ex” periment in the artificial propagation of the cod will be more than usually interesting to piscaculturists and economists. The idea is alarge one. Very much may result from it, and if even only part of the hopes enter- tained are fulfilled, the island will obtain good returns for its investment. Of more especial interest to Canada is the assertion in the same connection, that exhausted lobster fisheries also can be restored by artifical propagation. . This is worthy the attention of our Government. A very im- portant trade existed for a number of years in canning these crustaceans for export that has somewhat fallen away, and is practically threatened with extinction. If it can be shown that artificial culture and protection will permanently preserve such a source of employment and wealth, the cost of| the work would be many times repaid. Newfoundland’s enterprise in this matter is worthy of imitation.

The Montreal Gazetie cables report that the British cattle markets have under- | gone a change for the worse, and that the) improved tone of a week ago has been com- | pletely wiped out. As an instance of the heavy supplies that are being offered, the Liverpool cable reports that 4,000 head of cattle were at Birkenhead one day re-! cently, while other markets were amply r supplied; in fact the trade throughout has_ an unsatisfactory look. Although receipts from Canada and the States have fallen off considerably, supplies from elsewhere have more thau made up the deficiency and the markets have been plentifully supplied, which, with a slow demand, has resulted in lower prices. At Liverpool, there were heavy offerings; in fact the market was glutted. Trade was very slow, under a weak demand, and prices were half a cent lower than last week. Large numbers were left over at (he close, and business through out was extremely dull. Prime steers were at Ll4c, choice Ile, poor to} medium 10c, and inferior 74 to 9e.

The Montreal Gazette's tabular statement relating to the trade between the United Kingdom and Canada, forthe month and quarter just ended, isagain on a satisfac- tory character. Taking the exports from the United Kingdom to the Dominion, an increase of £21,148 is exhibited in the to- tal for the month, this being equal to an expansion of 5.89 per cent., while for the

Ki eo £2

three months the aggregate increase is £11,169, or just under 1 per cent. Horses were shipped to the Dominion to a

reduced value last month. Inthe exports of spirits there was also a slight decrease, but in salt there was an increase of £1,370.

The amount of wool sent was consid- erably higher-—-viz., £1,717. Dealing with manufactured articles, there are increases under the heads of cot- ton pieced-goods, jute, linen, ribbons, woollen fabrics, worsted fabrics, and car- pets ; but of silk, articles partly composed of silk, and hardware and cutlery, there

was less exported last month than in March last year. Coming to the iron trade, an increase of £1,755 is shown ih pigiron, £1,. 135 in bars, etc., £2,077 in railroad, £2. 593 in cast and wrought iron, and £343 in lead ; but tin plates are responsible for a decrease of £7,472, tin, £3,710, steel, £1,- 802, and hoops and sheet, £946, Machin- ery shows an increase, both as regards steain engines and other descriptions. With regard to other items, apparel and slops, and earthen and china ware, were shipped to an increased amount, but the reverse was the case in haberdashery, alkali, cem- ent, oil, writing and other paper, and stationery generally. In imports froxa Canada to the United Kingdom the results are favorable. For the month the increase is £52,068, which is equal to 278 per cent., making the increase for the quarter £137,- 369, or 121 per cent. No flour was ap- parently received last month from the Do- minion, but £2,350 came to hand in March, 1888. Of cheese the imports last month were £914, as against nil for the corres- ponding period, an £462, and of sawn timber, £3,399.

and =- Edith, was exceedingly weil

sung, and much appreciated. Indeed,

the performance al! through was of a

so

high order, indicating very clearly that there is no scarcity of musical and dramatic talent in Charlottetown. The

instrumental portion of the performance was uoder the management of Mr. Earle assisted by Miss Lewis and Mr. Vinnicombe and was well attended to. Mr. Bremner looked after the stage arrangements, cos- tuming, etc., and to his ability and energy is largely due the excellent performance ot | last evening. We heartily congratulate all concerned on their success, and hope that | the committee will see their way clear to| repeat the performance at an early date—' proceeds to go towards the proposed foun- | tain for Queen Square. ; TS Ai TT } @ucen Square Gardens. ete |

A meeting of the ladies and gentlemen interested in Queen Square Gardens was held in the Legislative Library this morn-_ ing, the Lieut.-Governor in the chair.

Mr. Arthur Newbery presented his ac- counts, showing adebt due of $211 on the past year’s transactions ; this sum, how- ever, included the plants and seedlings re- quired for the ensuing summer. There ap-. peared to have been expended on the square | $840, not including the Dominion Govern- | ment grant ef $400 for their own portion of the square.

Mr. R. B. Norton, on bebalf of the Odd- | fellows, offered a repetition of last night’s | concert in aid of the erection of a public | fountain on the square—half the expenses | of both performances to be paid out of any | funds realized. The general impression appeared to be that such a second concert would not real- | ize sufficient to warrant a trial.

Several gentlemen urged a _ reduction in| the annual cust. After some discussion it

was unanimously decided that the ladies | make ihe usual annual collection.

A committee of three gentlemen were ap- | pointed to urge the Dominion and Local | Governments to erect the long-promised

fence around the Square. Messrs. Fitz-

gerald, McLeod and Warburton were ap-| pointed such committee.

A ladies’ collecting committee was then | nominated.

Mr. Arthur Newbery was then appointed

Treasurer, and a most cordial vote of

thanks was given him for his in-

defatigable work in the past. To the ladies

also a well-deserved similar vote was given,

after which the meeting adjourned.

Now, let there be no holding back.

Make the lady collectors welcome, and give to them liberally. Queen Square Gardens

attracted last summer hundreds of tourists,

and as a beautiful health resort for the citi- zens, it must be maintained. Its cost in — and cents in no way represents its value.

School Report.

Sir,—Dr. Anderson stated in his last report that ‘‘diplomas were gained by ‘*Fredk. West, Little York ; Fredk. How- att, Centreville, and Bruce Shaw, Cove- head, but ommitted John McMillan, Al-

berry Plains ; Wm. C. Murdock, Murray River, and Reuben McDonald, George- town.

I do not understand why the Dr. should omit the last three, mentioned above, when each one gained his diploma credit- ablo, making upwards of 80 per cent. of the attainable number of marks.
