Notes and Comments.

The Patriot contends that the Opposi- tion party of Canada has not been badly sold by its friends in Congress. Didn't Hitt and Butterworth and Sherman pro- fess to be strongly in favor of Commercial Union and Unrestricted Reciprocity with Canada, and did they not turn round and vote for the McKinley Bill /

-Egyptian mummies have been found whose teeth had been fiilled with gold. skulls recently taken from Etruscan tombs have artificial teeth. Some of them date back to the sixth century before Christ. One of these days somebody will discover that Nebuchadnezzar used to read the tele- graph despatches from Thebes in the Morn- ing Babylonian, that the type was set by anelectric lamp, and the rotary press worked by means of storage batteries.

—Lord Wolseley believes that in time the Chinese will overrun the world—as soon, in fact, as a great general or law-giver arises among them. At present they have no great leaders, for the simple reason that the Government puts out of existence every Celestial who displays more than average intelligence. It is narrated that when Commissioner Leh was asked whether it were true that he had beheaded sixty thou- sand mon in three years, he replied: **Oh, surely more than that.” Lord Wolseley thinks, however, that a Chinese Alexander or Moses will come tothe front some day, and that his people will then adopt the pro- fession of arms and sweep over India, Rus- sia and the Continent, and finally give England, America and Australia a tussle for supremacy. This sounds chimerical, but we should not forget Rome and the Goths.

The Huntington Gleaner says: ** The underlying cause of the fears expressed of severe injury to Canada resulting from the McKinley Bill is the notion entertained by many who live at a distance from the fron- tier that the United States offer an un- limited market for produce and at much better prices than can be obtained in Britain. The truth is, that depressed as our own farmers are, those across the line are in worse plight. Daily we see American cheese and butter on its way to Montreal for shipment, the market of sixty millions failing to require it, while the price of cattle and hogs is lower at Malone and Chateauguay than in Montreal, and to such a degree that American farmers weekly smuggle them for sale to our buyers. Take it all round, the farmers of this district get fully more for their produce than those who reside in Franklin and adjoining counties, That being the case, it is un- reasonable to assert the McKinley Bill can greatly affect the farming interest of Canada.”

—The cause of the low prices for po- tatoes in the American market is clearly shown in the following clipping from a Boston market report received this morning :—

** The arrivals have been heavy the past two weeks, and most everything has been more or less affected by rot. The poor condition of the stock has made buyers very cautious, and demand has been confined closely to imme- diate wants. The result has been a very large accumulation at the roads and a com- pletely demoralized market. Quotations are almost wholly nominal. Receivers are asking about prices quoted for the best stcck, but are glad to make liberal concessions if it will lead to business, Poor stock has to be forced off for what it will bring.”

A tightening of the market will undoubt- edly follow as soon as the rotting potatoes have been disposed of; and as there has been a failure in the Western States and almost everywhere else, we should not be surprised to have good paying prices late this fall or early next spring. The ques- tion is whether or not potatoes in this Pro- vince will escape the rot ; and if so, whether we shall, owing to the want of a subway or tunnel, beJenabled to take advantage of the more favorable conditions of the mar- ket. In any case, our well-to-do farmers will hold their potatoes—or as many as they can find room for—until there has been a decided “rise” in the market.

A Few Pertinent Questions.

Merry Wedding Bells.

A true lovers’ knot of cream roses and car- nations, from which smilax and roses were festooned over the lace draperies of a bay win- dow, was the most significant decoration of the parlors of Mr. and Mrs, George Hannah's beautiful residence on Florence Heights, corner of Third and Laurel, last night. A few inti- mate friends of Miss Carrie F. Hannahs and Mr. Herbert W. Findley had been bidden, with the relatives of each to witness the cere- mony uniting the destinies of one of San Diego's fairest daughters with those of one of her most popular young business men. At 8 o'clock, attended by Miss Carry Perry and George O’Brien, the handsome pair took their position beneath the flowers, and facing Rev. W. B. Noble. The blonde bride was very lovely in a robe of cream faille fran- caise and carried a boquet of nephetus roses and maidenhair fern, The bridesmaid was attired in lavender crepe du chene. Miss Maria Long was also to have acted as brides- maid, but illness prevented. Congratulations were cordially sincere from the two groups thus united—Mr. and Mrs. George Hannahs, Mr. and Mrs. William H. Finuley, the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Findley, Miss Florence Findley, Mr. and Mrs. John N. Bovyer, Miss Jennie Bovyer, Mrs. 8. Haslam, Ezra Haslam, Mr. and Mrs. Lounsbery ; a'so from Miss Edna Pierce, W. H. Doud and Kd. F. Parmelee. The dining room had been beautifully ornamented for the dinner which followed, and with the elegant gifts afterward admired were many from friends of the bride in Michigan, Illinois and New York. Several checks were among the presents. Mr. and Mrs. Findley go to housekeeping at Seveuth and C., south-east corner, the residence having been prettily fitted up just in time. They will be “at home” there after the 8th.--San Diego Union, Oc. 2.

[The Mr. Herbert W. Findley referred to in the foregoing extract from the Union is a native of Charlottetown, and is a son of Wm. H. Findley, Esq., some years ago one of our leading merchants, Tur Examiner extends its congratulations and best wishes. }

Murder of Innocents. THE AWFUL TRAGEDY AT ONTARIO. A Cumberland, Ont., despatch of the 10th says: Important evidence was dis- covered to-day in the case of the murder and outrage of the McGonagle girls. De- tective Grier started out with the prisoner Larouckes’ boots to the scene of the tragedy. At the spot about 20 feet from where the bodies had been lying,they found in the suft mud afoot mark that exactly matched the prisoner's boot. The sole of the boot was round and the boot mark in the mud was of an identically similar shape and size. The prisoner declines to say any- thing about this. The children are laid out side by side in coffins lined with white, and are dressed in white muslin, each with her right hand across her breast. Theo mother has not eaten since the murder, but she sits and cries incessantly. She was taken to a neighbor's yesterday, but it only made her worse. She isinasad condition. A knotted handkerchief belonging to the little girl was found near the spot. It was evidently used to keep her from screaming. There was also found an old spoke of a buggy wheel. Mr, Windsor told a reporter this moruing that yesterday he went into the prisoner’s room and, looking reproach- fully at Larouckes, exclaimed suddenly and emotionally: ‘*‘ For heaven’s sake Narcisse what possessed you to do it?” The prisoner replied, ‘* I don't know what pussessed me.” Many believe he will con- fess before the week is out. Some of the jurymen wauted to take the prisoner be- fore the c)idren and to the scene of the murder with a view of making him show signs of guilt if guilty, but Crown Attorney Maxwe!l would not allow it as it is contrary ta law,

ScHooNER ASHORE.—A schooner owned by George Toombs, and laden with coal for R. McMillan, went ashore just outside the har- bor during the gale, and had to be taken off by the tug this forenoon. She is now off Mc- Millan’s Wharf, and will begin discharging as soon as possible.

ScHOONER IN TROUBLE.—It is reported that the schooner Twilight, owned by Thos. Kick- ham, Bag.» of Souris, was held at that place on Saturday, and was not released until a fine of $400 was paid. We have not heard the nature of the offence which caused the deten- ti8n, but understand that it was on account of some little smuggling done by the crew along the Nova Scotia coast.
