The Invasion of Pugwash
On the twenty-fourth of June, eighteen hun- dred eighty-four,
Nincty stout and: ble yeomen mustered on the Crapaud shore,
And they breathed in tones terrific, vengeance
on their Pugwash foes,
While the dia of preparation from the serried
masses rose.
The Heather Belle, with banners waving, moved serenely up the Bay,
| And her milk-white bulwarks glistened in the sun and driving spray,
| And her polished decks, now spotless, fated to be stained ere night,
| With the price we paid in Pugwash for their rum and in the fight.
| Then they moored her up alongside one of the
Dominion Piers,
| While our friends who stood around us, with
their faces bathed in tears,
Sadly blessed our undertaking, and the sound that rent the air,
As we stepped on board the steamer, was the wailing of despair.
‘‘Heave ho !” and the anchors settled on the catheads with a crash,
for Pugwash,
And our piper from the hencoop forward play- ed a martial strain,
While with swelling hearts our voices joined him in the glad refrain.
From the deepest caves of ocean, from the cliffs along the shore,
Echoed back our happy chorus, louder than the ocean’s roar ;
And the seabirds screamed around us in a weird fantastic sweep,
While the lobsters, crabs and skatefish joined us from the soundless deep.
‘‘Land ahead!” came from the masthead, * Pugwash lighthouse on our lea !”
And the order ‘‘Helm to starboard !”’ sound- ed wildly o’er the sea;
* Clear the decks brave boys for action ! wave our battle flag on high ! ”
Each ohe said his ‘‘Now I lay me;” and we swore to do or die.
Soon we landed, no one faltered, as we climb- ed that muddy slope,
No forebodings came to warn us, rushed we onwara fall of hope,
Rushed we onward, little dreaming that when down that slope again
We’dreturn, we could be wiser, yea we could be sorer men,
Up the street our columns halted, and we had our last review,
And we bathed our parched and fevered lips in Vendor’s Mountain Dew,
And we sent Lieutenant Calvin with this sum- mons to the town,
‘If ye don’t surrender Pugwash, we will straighway pull it down ! ”
Calvin met the Pugwash Lifeguard — one policeman on h's beat—
And he gave his summons proudly, then pro- ceeded up the street,
The lone guardsman, for a moment, stood be- wildered and aghast,
Gave pursuit, and Calvin’s freedom was a legend of the past.
Then we charged,— our whole battalion moved
as moved a mighty man,—
To the order of our captain, ‘‘ Rescue Calvin, if you can!”
And we halted not nor faltered, rushed we on through mud and mire,
And we saved our gallant comrade, like a
brand from out the fire,
Then with songs of triumph swelling from the bosoms of us all,
We repaired with waving banners to a banquet in the hall,
For we thought we'd taken Pugwash when that lone policeman fell,
And we had our decorations hoisted on the Heather Belle.
In the hall our Army Surgeon made a speech concise and clear;
But a pugilistic Bluenose smote him sorely on the ear,
And he smiled a sickly smile, and he curled up on the floor,
And the subsequent proceedings interested him no more.
Then the last sad scene was acted, but its act- ing why recall ?
We were brave, but e’en the bravest some- times may have a fall ;
We were driven from our quarters though we battled long and well.
And we had to fly for refuge to our ship the Heather Belle.
History’s page for future ages shall record this struggle sore, But no pen can tell the anguish of our friends upon the shore, When we told our tale of sorrow, when the day’s sad work was done, Thus concluded the disaster of the twenty- fourth of June. Susan JANE. Blissville, Aug. Ist, 1884. —_—————_—-—-- wp -o- - ——-——---~ The increase in shipments of American grain from the port of Montreal has been continuous and rapid since the remission by the Government of one-half the canal tolls. The United States will have about 150,- 000,000 bushels of surplus wheat from this years crop, and the prospects for a still greater increase in business along the St. Lawrence route is, therefore, good, provid- ed successful competition can be carried on with the Erie route. That is, as our read- ers know, practically free, and a strong plea is being urged for the remission by the Canadian Government of the other and re- maining half of the tolls. These are very small, but it is contended that they are yet sufficient to divert a large proportion of Western grain to the Erie route. - ee Lord Rupertswood, of Victoria, is report- ed to be richer than W.

A Trip to the Capital. A goodly number of ns gathered at Brae Station, en route for the Caledonia Club. After waiting about an hour, the train ar- rived, commanded by Conductors Kelly and Ryan. At the word, ‘‘All aboard,” we availed ourselves of second class com- partments, as all first class cars were well occupied on arriviug here. We had a very pleasant trip down, our party being enliv- ened by music from the bagpipes, played by John Gillis, of Kildare, and another gentle- man unknown to the writer. The train load of living freight was added to more or less at each station, and by the time we reached Summerside, our powerfal iron ‘horse had as much as he could walk along ‘with, A good many remarks were passed on the different sights viewed along the line, more especially on the backwardness of the crop, the poorest being between County Line and Charlottetown, the pota- ‘toes in particular being miserably short. | We arrived at the city without any acci- dent, The day passed off pleasantly, the people enjoying themselves in the various sports that offered. As the time drew near for the departure of the train, we wended our way to the depot in good time, in order, if possible, to secure seat in a first-class car which the writer, ‘among others managed to secure and hold throughout the journey. On leaving Char- jlottetown our train was taken charge of by iking alcohol. Now, Mr. Editor, we all |know where king alcohol has any sway thsre is sure to be a smash. Well it did not failin this case. As they began to drink the liquor, they began to lose their wit, and then the ‘‘muss” commenced, They first began in fun, but soon it came to earnest. Windows were broken, and at last one individual got so rough that he was carried out by four men into another cupartment of the train. This caused some uneasiness among the lady passengers of whom there was not a few of those of who are timid, some fainted and had to be taken out in the air in order to recover. One lady received a kick in her side from one of the ram-mortgaged characters. This all happened in the car the writer with others oceupied. One of these warriors was left somewhere east of Summerside. Whether he was put out or fell out I can- not say, Another was left in charge of the police officers at Sammerside. Another who got lose after leaving Summerside was taken out of our car twice and was kept un- der subjection some way after which we got along pretty quietly.
How often are such scenes to be enacted —such as is described above—before the proper authorities will take hold and try to put down such outlawed doings? The sober men had almost to risk their own lives in order to protect the ladies. The Superintendent of our Railway should try and put a stop to such doings, or he will be required to put policemen on all ex- cursion trains, and have a lock up to put men into as soon as they show any sign of drunkenness whatever. It will be of no benefit to them to run cheap excursion trains, for the people will not patronize them while such disorder and annoyance is allowed.
I can tell you the black ducks were pretty thick on the train going to Tignish. It seems impossible for the law to puta stop to the illicit sale of that poisonous and demoralizing stuff known as rum, if the present law will not work. I would say, try prohibition—prohibit the importation to the Island, and the manufacture and sale on the Island, and that in the opinion ofa great many would be the greatest damper that could be put on that common enemy to mankind—intemperance.
Yours respectfully, Joun H, THomat,
Brae Station, Aug. 1, 1884.

England and Maoris.
There is something pathetic in the blind confidence of weaker races in the integrity and humanity of the stronger ones. Here is the poor Maori King come all the way from New Zealand to point out to the Queen of England and her Government that he and his people are being robbed, outwitted, and trampled upon by Her Majesty’s most Christian representatives in the Colonies, without redress, Il was dining with his swarthy Majesty and his suite the other night, and the Maori monarch informed me that the Government out in New Zealand, to whom he had appealed, plainly admitted that they considered no agreement binding with barbarians, and that the sooner the treaty made by our last lord Derby in the name of tne British Government were un- derstood to be mere waste paper the better. This guileless monarch actuaily imagines that we Christians believe in the religion we try to teach his people, and are likely to practice such things as justice and mercy! Major Te Wheoro, who was also at dinner, is a very cultivated and able Maori. He told me a sad tale of Colo- nial aggression. According to him, it is nothing but one long list of broken promises to the natives, till et last they find themselves driven into a corner of their own country, and fiatly told that the sooner they can skeddadle out of that the better—-to make room for the Christians. ‘*My dear Major,” I felt inclined to say, ‘but refrained for very shame, ‘‘do you not know that is precisely what we are doing in ‘Scotland, because we want the land for ‘moors and deer farmers’? Do you suppose ‘that Christians who won't allow the Scotch ‘crofters to stand in the way of pleasure ‘are likely to allow the Maori t to in-
\terfere with their profit ?’— on Truth.
