A Boston bank recently sent some business paper to the West for collection. Chis week it was returned protested, with the following response to the notary: * Tell ‘em I’m busted. A concise, if not an ele- gant way of telling a story that has become quite familiar in the United States of late

Some persons have inferred, from the remarks of Tus Examiner of last evening, that the Government had refused permis- sion to Mr. Arthur Newbery to superintend (Jueen Square Garden, as in former years. (he inference is unwarranted and wrong. The Government have not been asked to grant Mr. Newbery permission to superin- tend the Garden. We understand that with the assistance of a competent person Mr. Newbery will be enabled to carry on the work before and after hours; and we have great pleasure in announcing that operations will be begun to-morrow morn- ing.

Advices from Minneapolis are to tho ¢ that the Scheffer drunkards law has gone into effect. The act provides that whoever becomes intoxicated by voluntarily drinking intoxicating liquors shall be deemed guilty of the crime of drunkenness, and upon conviction shall be punished as follows: For the first offence, a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $40, or by im- prisonment for not less than ten nor more than forty days; for the second offence, by imprisonment for not Jess than thirty nor more than sixty days, or by a fine of not less than $20 nor more than $50; for the third and all subsequent offences by im- prisonment for not less than sixty nor more than ninety days.

—A London despatch says that the Appellate Court has decided that women cannot sit in county councils, notwithstand- ing they may be duly qualified electors.

Beth the Lord Chief Justice and the master of the Rolls declared that the electoral votes given to women suffrage

and enabling them to vote to elect mem- bers of county councils did not give them the right to beelected. This decision is denounced by the Pall Mall Gazette and the newspapers which favor female suffrage &3 an irrational interpretation of the act. lt is asserted that the verdict of the court is due the effort to introduce women suffrage into Pathament in the Scotch local government bill.

-It turns out, says the Toronto Globe, that we have unjustly slighted the old geo- graphers. The earliest of them bothered themselves with needless speculation as to what the world stoud on, but they appear to have had a very fair knowledge of the geography of Africa. The New York Sun points out ** that previous to the discover- ies of Speke and Baker, no modern map laid down the sources of the Nile with any approach to the truth achieved by Ptolemy. In the map of this father of cartographers the Nile was represented in 150 A. D., as rising in two lakes whose position roughly approximates that of Victoria and Albert Nyanza."” In The Spanish Globe, now in Paris. supposed to date from the sixteenth century, the great northern bend of the Congo is represented as extending north of the equator, giving it practically the posi- tion assigned to it by Stanley. Before the discoveries of Stanley, no nineteeth century map located the Congo so accurately as did some maps of the seventeeth and the early part of the eighteenth century.

— Printer’s Ink,—one of the brightest of our exchanges, and an excellent journal for advertizers—has the following among many items which are worthy of consider- ation: ‘*The usual methods of attractiag business are well known, and are to a cer- tain extent effective. Every man has a sign to show his name and trade. A handsome display of goods attracts casual observers. Better than these are the com- mendatory words of customers who are pleased with their transactions. A word in favor of a business house is often worth much. If one person’s good words are worth something, the commendations of ten will be worth ten times as much. Life is short, and it is every man’s ambition to make a fortune. Everything is sought which will tend to hasten the happy time when that fortune can be counted as made. The way to do it is plain: first be prepared to serve the public; then let the people know what you can do, so that they may: hasten to become customers. Every man to a greater or less extent prefers to trade where he has formerly traded. The earlier the first order is secured the better pros- pect there is of making a regular customer at an early day.”

—One of our exchanges remarks that the word patronage came into printing par- lance very early in the history of the art. The printers, like the scholars and artists, were clients or dependents on great men whose only title to distinction was in the parchments that described their landed estates; and so it vame to pass that every man who inserts an advertisement in 4 newspaper forthwith becomes its patron, supporter, protector, and the opinion is quite general that he who advertises in a paper confers an obligation, and in some cases 4 gratuity on the publisher. Some advertisers feel that the publisher of a newspaper is under an obiigation for their patronage, and, if offended, threatens to withdraw it. Newspaper men should omit no opportunity that offers itself to teach their patrons that they confer greater obli- gations than they receive. No man adyer- tises unless he expects to receive more ben- , efit than the worth of the money that he pays. The publisher is under no more ob- ligation to his advertiser than the doctor is to his patient, or the lawyer to his client. = business transacted is for mutual bene-

pany, Col. Jacob L. Green, says “the death rate is more profoundly affected by the use of intoxicating drinks than from any other one cause, apart from heredity.” “He also remarks, as to moderate drinking : “That habitual sottish drunkenness should issue in disease and death, most people can understand; but that moderate, | orderly, decorous indulgence should issue in digest- ed brains, insanity, suicide, paralysis, dis- eases of kidney, liver stomach, pneuimonta. rheumatism, and in general in those dis- eases which at bottom mean A poison imparted into the blood, most persons do not know, and are slow to believe; but the reason is simple and worth noting, -Says the Dallas (Texas) Mercantile Journal: ‘* When a young man gets out of employment—which often occurs with clerks and mechanics—he, as a rule, wastes a good lot of time waiting for something to turn up. A better way to do under such circumstances is to turn up something him- self. This is not an age when a young man no matter how much skill or meri: he possesses—can rest upon his dignity or an independent spirit until some clever friend invites him to take a big salaried position or gives him a half-interest in astore. No, the young man who is really worthy a posi- tion will get out and hustle for a place; he will let every business man know that he wants work, and will be particular to state that he doesn’t want a dollar more than his services are worth. If something is not found soon, don’t get discouraged; keep up cheerful spirits, put in more time hustling, and, finally, if you are convinced that no opening can be had for a reasonable salary, go to work at anything you can get to do, and at the best wages you can get, even if they do no more thau pay your board. Don't exhibit any fear of hard or rough work, but do the best you can and keep your eyes open for something better. Above all things, don’t leave the country town to come to the city. All cities are swarming with unemployed clerks, and, unless you have some positive opening promised, the chances are ninety-nine out of * hundred that you will not get a place.”

Supreme Court.

Tue adjourned session of the Supreme Court met yesterday and to-day—adjourn- ing to-day sine die. All the judges were on the Bench. Below will be found a synopsis of the principal business transacted : —

John R. Larkins vs. John E. Yeo. Tried at Summerside in June last, when judg- ment was given for plaintiff. A rue nisi was granted for new trial at Michaelmas term on the ground that the amount of the verdict was too small. This rule was to- day (Wednesday) discharged with costs. Mr. Bell fur plaintiff; Mr. Stewart for de- fendant.

Daniel Tremere, appellant, and Stephen Brown, respondent. This case was settled by agreement, each paying his own costs.

In the matter of the application of Ham- mond Larter, to remove a conviction made by William Heard, J. P., a rule nisi was granted by Mr. Justice Hensley at Cham- bers, which was to-day (Wednesday) heard and discharged with costs. F. L. Haszard, for applicant ; L. H. Davies, contra.

In the matter of the application of John Connollyfor certiorari, the Court, on appli- cation of Mr. Hodgson, Q. C., ordered the conviction in this case to be quashed, with- out costs.

On motion of Mr. Davies, Q. C., Mr. Fred. W. L. Moore, attorney-at-law, was admitted a barrister of the Court.

Court of Appeal in Equity.

JUDGMENT was given yesterday in the case of Thomas Smith and another vs. the Water Commissioners. Judgment was read by the Master of the Rolls, allowing the appeal, he being of the opinion that the arbitrators may have been misled by the directions formerly given to them. An order was accordingly made that the matter be again referred to the arbitrators.

In the case of Anderson vs. Brown, an appeal from the decision of Hensley, V. C., setting aside a conveyance to the defend- ants, it was, on motion of Mr. Hodgson, Q. C., dismissed, no factum having been filed by the appellants.

Court adjourned.

AN AMERICAN’S TESTIMONY AFTER A TRIP TO THE PACIFIC,

Dr. Webb, President of the Wagner Car Company, and his party of friends, arrived at Vancouver last Saturday evening on their special tourist train after a month’s tour of the south-western, western and north-western States, and coming over the C. P. R. from Winnipeg. They left on the steamer Islander, which has been chartered specially for a coasting trip to Alaska; and will return in two weeks time. Dr. Webb was interviewed by a press re- presentative before leaving and expressed himself generally pleased with his excursion so far and delighted with his trip over the C. P. R., which he pronounces in every way equal to the best railroad in America and much superior to nine-tenths of its roads. He had crossed the continent a number of times and the scenery in the Canadian route surpassed anything he had ever seen. He thinks the prospects of the Canadian coast good and the prospects of increased continental traffic excellent, but for the present the best thing for British Columbia men would bea railroad going south to connect with the coast cities from Vancouver. The great rush from east to the United States coast will soon fill it up and the overflow will people this province and the Canadian Northwest. He did not think the outcome of the interstate com- merce investigation would restrict Can- adian railroad traflic in the United States, but he thought Canadian lines would be made to comply with the provisions of the interstate act, as American lines going through Canada are doing. He was pleased with Vancouver and thought it beautifully located. On the return trip he will g0 b way of Winnipeg (where the party will be tendered a —- reception) and Montreal to Central Yermont, where he will reside at his country seat for the summer. ill the members of the party are in excellent | health and spirits.

Edward Battersley was killed at Acadia Mines, N. S., on Monday, under peculiar circumstances. The rear line of his gar- den is the edge of a ravine 75 feet deep.

His daughter saw the danger, sprang to [his assistance, d made heroic efforts to srave her father ,py. holding on to the horse’s head, but ,the cart was too far over the edge of the {preci- pice, and man, horse and cart went whirl- ing down the chasm. The daughter fescap- ed by a miracle. When she let go of the horses’s head she lost her balance and _roll- ed down the {mountain side. Half way down her clothing caught on some bushes, which held her » moment and then ‘spring- ing loose tossed her clear of the rocks and into the river below, whence she was res- cued a mass of bruises but with no bones broken, Her clothing was torn to shreds. ae ee Local Notices.
