More About the Public Debt.

Tue Toronto Mail, of the lth inst., con- tains some figures which are interesting, in view of the discussion raised by the Patric concerning the public debt. The Mail says :—** The debt of the United Kingdom stands at $98 per head of the population, that of Australia at $190 ; that of the Cape of Good Hope at $90 ; that of Canada at $12. The total United Kingdom would pay off the British

annual revenue of the

debt in just eight years. The total annual revenue of Canada would pay off the debt in less than six years. The measure of the burden of the debt, however, is the amount of interest that has to be paid upon it. In L874 we paid $1 34 per head Under Sir Richard Cartwright we had to pay, in 1875, $1.48 per head ; in 1876, $1.42; in 1877, $1.51 ; and in 1878, $1.58. In 1879 we paid $1.59. Had our annual payments increased it might be said that our liabili- But it seems that, despite the great capital expen-

increased and that the wealth of the people,

much the same. In 1875 it stood et $5.32 in 1885 it was $5.40

We have certainly secured more than eight cents per head by our expenditur@s ihieninebsieoneatin oily teens Grape Culture.

it was last vear. At the Prayincial Ex-

Libition t\ re was a sample of his grapes which was much admired; and we speak of that which we do know when we say that these grapes were fully developed.

The satisfactory results which have been obtained by Bishop McIntyre may, be ob- tained by any farmer in Prince Edward Island. We need no longer be dependent upon Italy or California for this delicious fruit, or be compelled to pay a high price for it. Our farmers may obtain it for themselves at little or no expense, and en- joy theju ice of the grape under their own vines or in theirown homes, The use of wines obtained by fermentation and ‘‘forti- tied” with alcohol is to be deprecated, be- cause it conduces to drunkenness; but nothing is more refreshing or more harm- less than the pure juice of the fruit of the vine. We have no doubt that many of our best farmers will soon be successfully culti-

vating grapes as well as apples.

Some time ago the Montreal Family Herald offered three prizes for the best poems composed on ** Little Sweethearts,” well known to readers of that paper. One of the prizes was won by a young lady teacher from the Island. follows :

Her poem is as

LITTLE SWEETHEARTS,

Love is the talisman that binds A heart unto a heart ;

The mystic hand that forms the tie Which none but Death may part.

There is the fond, deep love of age, The trusting love of youth,

And love seems most divine when linked With innocence and truth,

What is there in the earnest eye Of that bright, noble boy?

A dream of courage, virtue, worth, And love without alloy.

What is there in the laughing eyes Of the fair little maid ?

A wealth of love and innucence Is in those eyes portrayed.

Their dreams may be but as the grass, And as the flower their bliss,

But talk not of a selfish world When there is love like this.

There may be pride and selfishness, But there are truth and worth, And love—that closely-woven chain-

The link twixt Heaven and Earth.

The Subway.

Senator How xan delivered an address | on the Subway at the Hall, Murray Har- bor South, on Tuesday evening last. He spoke for two hours, and was listened to with marked attention by a large audience. Hon. 8. Prowse occupied the chair, and H. A. Bears, Esq., was appointed Secre- tary.

Among those present were Hon. James Clow, Murray Harbor North, Dr. G. A. C. McIntosh, Murray River, Angus McPhee, Esq., Hopefield, Messrs. A. J. McInnis, John Lowe, Robert Sanders, Francis D. Cook, David Hugh, John LeLacheur, Benj. Sensabaugh, Chas. Brehaut,Joseph Brooks, Jas. MeKay, Wesley Roberts, John Howe, Wm. Machon, John Nicole, Jas. Cuddy, Abijah Grant, Ronald McPhee, Malcolm J. Munn, Hugh McKay, Archd. McDonald, Josiah Roberts, Jas. Henry, Henry J. Brehaut, Dr. Barnes, Richard Murley and Capt. John Hyde. After some pertinent questions were put, and remarks were made by Dr, McIntosh, James Cuddy, Richard Murley and others, the following resolu- tions were proposed by Hon. James Clow, seconded by Benjamin Sensabaugh, Esq., and carried unanimous! y:—

Wheveas,This meeting has listened with creat pleasure to the interesting and instrue- tive address of Hon. Senator Howlan, descriptive of the proposed Metallic Survey across the Straits of Northumberland.

And Whereas,—The fulfilment of that part of the terms of Confederation with this Pro- vinee, that guaranteed efficient steam commu- nication, winter and summer, between this Island and the mainland of the Dominion, would be of great advantage to the other Pro- vinces of Canada as well as to this Island; and

Whereas,—The Dominion Government, by ordering a survey of the proposed route, have shown a desire to carry out the terms of union more effectually in the future than in the past. Therefore Resolved,—That our representa- tives in the Dominion Parliament be respect- fully requested to urge upon the Federal Gov- ernment the necesssity of taking such steps at the earliest possible opportunity as will decide the feasibility of giving this Island the con- tinuous steam communication with the railway system of Canada that the torms of union guaranteed to the people of this Island ; and further

Resolved,—That the thanks of this meeting be tendered to Senator Howlan for the inter- est he has taken and the energy he has dis- played in pressing this important subject on the attention of the Parliament and people of this Dominicn.

After a vote of thanks was tendered the Chairman, the meeting quietly dispersed.

From the Secretary's report, received after the above was in type, we quote the following summary oi the proceedings: —

Senator How an described the advan- tages that the residents of the other pro- vinces of Canada had secured from Confed- eration, and asserted that he’ believed the only requisite required by the people of this Island, to place them fully abreast of the people of the other provinces ot the Dotiinion, was that continuous and daily steam communication that was guaranteed by the Terms of Union. He then gave a detailed and exhaustive description of the Metallic Subway, that is proposed as a safe and inexpensive means of crossing the Straits, recounted the difficulties he had met and overcome in arriving at accurate knowledge of the contour of the bottom, and ina most eloquent manner depicted the advantages that would accrue from the completion of such an undertaking. Sena- tor Howlan’s address occupied about one and a half liours in delivery, and was listen- ed to with great interest by the audience, who showed, by hearty applause, their high appreciation of the information they received.

Hon. Mz. Prowse said that it was the

who had any questions to ask respecting the construction and working of the Sub- way would be good enough to place them before the meeting. Dr. McIntosh, Mr. Murley, James Cuddy and others asked some questions on practical subjects con- nected with the working of the Subway, which were fully and satisfactorily answered.

Gro. F. Owen, Esq., of Cardigan Bridge who was present, being called upon to ad- dvess the meeting, referred to the active part taken by Hon. Mr. Prowse, the representative of the Murray Harbor District, in advocating the fulfillment of the “‘erms of Confederation, and said he believ- el that if the feasibility of the Subway was demonstimted tothe Dowine mn os prent, thoy would att fail th give Univ Pre

Senator How1an acknowledged the vote in his usual happy manner, and said he hoped that the day was not far distant when they,would see the Subway built at the Capes, and a branch railway to Murray Eiarbor.

Markets.

GRAIN MARKETS IN THE UNITED STATES,

Weakness continues to figure as the prominent characteristic of the Chicago grain markets. Wheat was depressed and more sufferers were compelled to pass to the front and unload. There seems to be nothing in the situation to give stability to the market, and without outside news of a bullish character values may slide off even further. The close was gc to fe below yes- terday at 72}c November, 744¢ December, 743e January. Corn was weak on the free deliveries of the old crop by farmers, and closed 4c to 8c lower at 354¢ November, 36c December, 36}$c January. Oats weak- ened ic to fe, closing at 24}c November, 254e December.

IN GREAT BRITAIN.

A leading Liverpool grain circular of the 8th inst. says :—‘* There has been no relief from the dullness prevailing last week. The increase of the visible supply in America, the continuous decline there, and the liberal shipments thence, combinea to depress prices here, notwithstanding the apparently strong elements existing for higher values. Deficient crops are reported here and en the Continent. To-day there was a thin attendance, and the market was Wheat was quiet, with a unchanged prices. Flour was unchanged. In maize there was a limited business at a decline of $d.”

PORK MARKETS IN THE STATES.

The Cincinnati Price Current, of October 7, says: Packing operations in the West have been on a moderate scale the past week, the returns indicating a total of 146,- 000 hogs, against a like number for “the preceeding week, and 125,000 for corres- ponding time last year; total from March 1 to date 4,900,000, against 4,160,000 last year, making an increase of 740,000 hogs. The eastern shipment of hogs have enlarged recently, which reduces the proportion available for western packers. Mess pork dropped about $3 per bri. from the highest point reached last month. The recent marked depression in prices of hog product has not yet been counted upen, and ap- pears to be chiefly due to the giving away of the‘ strained condition in lard specula- tion. Stocks of meat available for ship- ment in the near future are not large, and will be well cleaned out by the lst Novem- ber, and mess pork, although still in a supply, will probably not show so excés- sively as has been apprehended, but it is likely to be in excess of any previous year at the corresponding date. Stocks of meats at Chicago, including pork, were re- duced very literally during the month of September, the aggregate of meats and pork on October 1, was equivalent to the product of about 620,000 hogs, against an equivalent of 870,000 hogs on September 1. In regard to the outlook of the trade, the recent break in values has been so marked that some recovery may be expected, but any important advance from current figures is hardly to be looked for in the near future. — —- a—---——

Dinner to Mr. Justin McCarthy. The Irish Parliamentary party last night entertained Mr. Justin McCarthy at a ban- quet at the Charing-cross Hotel, on the eve of his departure for America. Mr. Parnell presided, and in proposing the health of the guest of the evening, said the Americans would weleome Mr. McCarthy as the dis- tinguished Irishman of the age, and as the most truthful exponent of the present ques- tion between England and Ireland. He called it the present question, but it was scarcely a question between England and Ireland ; it was the question of Ireland which that great and illustrious Englishman, Mr. Gladstone—(cheers)—had determined to solve before he rested. The first duty of Great Britain was to see that the principles of government on which their greatness was based—viz., the rule of the people, by the people for the people, should have effect, and concurrently they might,if they choose, see that the Protestants had fair play, al- though he doubted if many Protestants feared that they would not have fair play. They had the majority of the Liberal party with them, and, under the weapons of legality and moderation which had hitherto distinguished their cause, he hoped that they would eventually obtain from the con- science of the English, a settlement of the great national question, enabling the peo- ple to go forward as a nation among the nations of the world, developing their country and enabling her to take up the position which he believed God had destinel for her. (Cheers.) Mr. Justia McCarthy, in reply, said he was going to America on no political mission, but or personal business, for he was extremely fond of the American people. He said he was induced to take up political life by the belief that the man to lead them had at last come to the front. He spoke of the immense progress they had lately made, ‘and said they owed much to their leader. | He referred to the strong feeling of brother- hood which existed amongst members of the Irish party, and of its feelings of sin- cerity and honor.—London, (Lng.,) Pox.

4a The Emerson Piano has won for itself a world-wide reputation—the Company being established as far back as 1849. They are a high grade but medium-priced instrument. They are remarkable for their Purity and Brilliancy of Tone, as well as for Durability.

The Company are to-day one of the largest Pianoforte Manufacturers in the United States, and their mammoth Piano Works are located in Boston, Mass.
