Ordination Service at Summerside, } | On Tuesday, the 11th inst., the Rev. |\George C. P. Palmer, son of the late i Sheriff Palmer, of Gagetown, N. B., was | set apart by the imposition of hands to the iful’ work of the minist ry in the Methodist Church. Mr. Palmer bas only lately re- moved to Summerside; but is already prov- ing to be a useful minister of the gospel, The Methodist people are well pleased ) the appomtment and are hopeful of a 15 ear of ble ssing. The church was crowded |to «Xcess, and extra seats had to be pro-

ided. ‘The service was conducted by the

vev. Charles H. Paisley, A. M., of Gibson, N. i President of the N. B. and P. E. 1. Conference. After singing a hymn, the Rev. George Steel led in prayer. Then,

ifter the President had stated the steps which led to the service, he called upen the candidate to relate his conversion to God ind call to the nuinhistry.

Mr. Palmer then, with much feeling and excellent taste, told the story of his con- version and of his cali to the work of the ministry. He was resolved to devote him- il unreservedly to the work of God in connexion with the church to which he

wed everything that he had in this world. ‘hen the usual and very beautiful ritual provided for ordination services was must sviemnly and impressively proceeded with; after which Mr. Palmer was set apart by

Prof. Mellish Lectures at Souris.

(m Monday evening Prof, Mellish, of Charicitetown, delivered, in the Methodist Church at Souris East, a lecture on Scot- land and Scostish scenery, which was a splendid intellectual treat to those present. We had not the pleasure of hearing the in- troductory remarks cf the learned lecturer, but his description of the port of Greenock, the city,of Glasgow, Dumbarton, Roslin and other castles, and of the ancient Pal- ace of Holyrood at Edinburgh was very graphic. The lecture abounded in many highiy deseriptive and amusing word paint- ings; but in our opinion his description of the ante-room to the picture gallery in Holyrood Castle, where , Vandyke’s picture of the crucifixion is hung, was the master- piece of the lecture. It was positively thrilling to hear Prof. Mellish’s description of the scene as it was when he visjted that

place. Prof. Melhsh quotes Scottish poetry with good effect, and his tribute to the sterling character of the Scottish

people elicited many a bursst of applause. \t the conclusion of the lecture, which had held the audience spell-bonud for nearly two hours, the chairman, Sheriff McDou- ald, acknowledged the great intellectual treat he, in common with the audience, had received, and complimented Prof. Mellish very highly on the masterly manner in which the subject had been handled. If Prof. Melish will repeat his lecture in some other places, we feel assured that he will be conferring a great favor on all those who have any literary taste.

The Views of Sir Charles Tupper.

In the course of his speech at the Cut- lers’ banquet, Shetheld, Sir Charles Tup- per said that although the Senate had de- termined that the President should not have the credit of a settlement of the ques- tion, in view of the election, yet the President and Administration had sent the treaty down with the declaration that it was a fair and honorable adjustment of existing difficulties. Without expressing an opinion regarding the message, he might say tliat all Canada asks is a fair, plain ap- plication of the principles of the treaty of 1818. Canada had gone as far as possible for the purpose of maintaining friendly re- lations with the republic, but the time would never come when the people of Canada, feeling as they did toward the Mother Country, would adopt a policy, fiscal or otherwise, detrimental to the British people. The Government of Can- ada would pursue the policy followed on previous occasions—deal with the question with iairness and deep consideration. Cer- tainly from no act of indiscretion on the part. f the Canadian Government would diffic: Ity arise from the illogical message of Presi:ient Cleveland.

A Few Notes and Suggestions.

THE editor of The Cambridge Tribune visited the Maritime Provinces last week. He sums up Halifax as ‘‘ an aristocratic city of perpetual rest; ’’ and makes some notes about Charlottetown and Prince Ed- ward Island, which will be interesting, particularly to young women who think of golug to Boston as ** helps : ”’

‘Two days at the business centre of Prince Edward Is!and, a wooden city built along the shores of a narrow inland bay. Unpaved, dumpy streets of magnificent width, a perfect beldam of business architecture, brick houses, wooden houses, stone houses, all together, al: full. Lots of business, no rushing, no auxiety ail quiet, all peacetul. Two daily papers, four weekly papers, respectable sheets, wel: edited, newsy, working hard to modernize Chavlottetown; success coming—always com- ing.

‘* But the suburbs; ah, there the beauties of the Island claim attention. Delightful

drives through the best of fine farming sec- tions; comfortable homes, good crops, fields of grain, blooded stock; ah, why do the island girls dome East?

‘* Home again, a duplicate of the westward joys. Nine days from Boston to Boston, and alinost for nothing. Let the tourist put thirty-three dollars im his inside pocket, and he'll come back bringing fifty cents with him

‘* Speaking of expense, the Provinces lower American prices. In Charlottetown for in- stance, a city of twelve thousand people, de- ightfully resting upon one of the prettiest of iuland bays, and surrounded by surburbs in natural beauty equal to Boston’s boasted en- virons, one cam board in comfortable private houses as three dollars a week, an iuxuriate at the leading hotels for about two dollars additional.

** And the fare is good, plenty of it, aud served with that freedom which forbids the suspicion that mine host is photograph.ng up a pound of steak for halt a dozen boarders.

‘And family expenses—for twelve hun- dred dollars one can rent the best house _ in town, keep a horse and carriage, a servant, and suppert in comfort a farily of six or eight, and the children need not go barefoot, nor the wife bonnetless.

‘** And gas, and telegraph, and telephone, and electric light, policemen, hacks, and about all one gets in the semi-centres of civi- lization,

‘** "Tis not what you make, ‘tis what you spend; and the Provincial gentleman has learned how to live by discovering how much can be had for little.

‘* Society ! What can be better than the royal hospitality which ever has marked the natives of these landsso near to us, yet known so litthke about. From the green filis of Prince Edward Island natu‘e teaches a kinder- yarten lesson to native pesple which should forever keep her youny women at home by the tarm, and not permis them to become the servints of another nation. If the people of the Provinces only realized the advantages of Mthei: native heath, grand old Acadia and her islands would retain what is sadly needed-— more people, and, with it, universal enter- prise.”

Revenue and Expenditure. The final statement of the fiscal year ending June 30 last has been issued by the Finance Department. It shows the total revenue for the year to be $35,864,494,and the expenditure $36,698, 005, leaving a deficit of about $835,000. {t will te remembered that Sir Charles Tupper, in his last budget speech, estimat-

accounts for

ed the deficit at $1,000,000, and it is cheering to note that this was an over- estiinate by $165,000. He anticipated,

however, that this year their would be a a million surplus, and in this way the two years would balance each other. If, how- over, the revenue during the next ien months keeps up as well as it has in the first two, not only may the accounts be expected to balance, but a suaplus may be looked for. The revenue up to August

3lst was $6,260,193, the expendicure $5,151,538, leaving a surplus. of $1,110,000. Last year the operations

of the two months shuwed a slight deficit. The net debt on the jlst August was $254,540,700, being an increase of $3,903, 629 nthe month. The total expenditure on capital account for 1887-88 was $5,500- 000. nn; <@- -ae————-~— The English Press.

Generally speaking the tone of Sir Charles Tupper’s remarks at the Cutlers dinner is warmly approved. The Standard declares that England has a right to expect that the Canadians will be careful not t» involve us needlessly in difficulties with foreign powers if it is possible to avoid them by conciliation and legitimate con- cession. In return Canada is certain to receive the full encouragement and support of Britain in resistence tu unlawful aggres- sion.

The St James Gazette admits that Can- ada’s position is perfectly fair and unassay!- able, but reminds Canada that it is sume- what impolite and even impossible to take the full advantage of a strong position.

Gossip about Lord Churchill.

A London correspondent remarks that the very remarkable and altogether unnatural quietude which has characterized Lord Ran- dolph Churchill of late has aroused suspicions among the members of the Government which have lead to the discovery that that would. be leader is arranging a formidable attack, whose power is to be felt during the autamn session of Parliament. It is suspected that Mr. Chamberlain is in complicity with Lord Churchill, and this surmise has revived tie rumors prevalent last spring that Lord Hart- ington will be pressed to accept the leader- ship in the House of Commons upon the as- of that body. What particular object Lord Churchill has in view can only be conjectured, but ii issafe to assume that his plans are basec apen nothing that does not contem- plate primarily his personal benetit and ad- vancement. Having failed to induce the Gove nment te tako him back into the Cabi- net uvon his own appraisement of the value of his services, he now, doubtless, seeks to compel his former associates to reiugtete him asa condition of peate.
