It is, of course, folly to expect the Sé. Lawrence an? Princess of Wales, though good boats of their kiad, aud manned by exp ienced and able officers—to giv e satisfaction in November and the early part of December, or to make their way through broken field ice in the early spring mouths. Yet, these are the very mouths during which we most need to have our commu iications kept open. One ct the greatest drawbacks from which we suffer is that we are late getting to market. Other Provinces and States can pour their produce into the centres of trade while we are eogaged in harvesting or waiting for the ice blockade to be raised ; and se receive the highest prices, while we are cumpelled to take the lowest. It is men festly impossible for us entirely to to overcome this drawback. But i is just as clearly our duty to do what we cau towards obtaining a position of equality, in this respect, with our neigh bors and competitors.

The Carrying

Trade.

The most important tradein the worid after agriculture is the carrying trade. No other industry has made such great progress during the last generation as this trade. ‘The statistics concerning its increase are positively amazing. We are indebted to

an article by Mr. M. N. Mulhall in the | Contemporary for the facts we now place before our réa ls rs.

Since 1859 railways have increased 393

per cent. and the carrying power of the ocean marine 304 percent. Of the ship- ping of the whole world, that of Great VGritain constitutes 49 per cent. and in 1879 ‘did 52 per cent. of the business. In 1850, 14 per cont. of the business was done under

steam ; in 1880, 61 per cent. In a British vessel there is a seaman for every 76 tons of work ; ina Frene) vessel, for 63 tons; in

2 German, tor 54 tons; in an Italian, for 25 fons; and in the average of all nations, for 61 tons. This does not prove that British vessels go to sea short-handed, for another table proves that the ratio of wrecks in British vessels, 2.94 in steam, and 3.93 in

lesa than that of any other nation’s

shows that Britain has the largest vessels. A veey instructive table is that showing the growth of British mercantile power at the expense of the United States and France:

The average tonnage of the world’s ves- sels is 177 tons, which is less than one- fourth of the average British tonnage, which latter has inereased from 549 tons per ves- selin 1850 to 748 tons in 1880. In this zonnection we may mention that our own Maritime Provinces are well in front as to increase of tonnage. Where 800-ton ves- sels were built ten years ago, 1,500-ton vesselg are now constructed.

Every year four per cent. of the world’s marine is destroyed, and every year five per cent is added to it. On an average 2,322,- Q09 tons are constructed every year, of which Britain builds 1,630,000, the States 195,000, and Italy, Canada, ete., 499,000. The steamers of the world consume 36,- (000,000 tons of coal yearly—three-quarters British. Every day 1,990 vessels enter and as many depart from perts in the Unit- ed Kin¢edom.

THE DAILY HXAMI

The Canada Temperance Act.

To-par, the case of W. R. Watson, Esq., charged with a breach of the ‘* Canada Temperance Act,” was opened before the Stipendiary Magistrate. Mr. Peters appeared for the prosecution and Mr. A. A. McLean for the defense. Mr. Watson, his clerk—Peter W. Hunter—William Flynn, Fraucis Welsh and Daniel Hogan were ex- amined and the case was afterwards adjourned until Monday next,

The facte of the suit, as elicited in the evidence taken, are as follows: On Tues- day last, three young men, tobacconists, named William Flynn, Francis Welsh and Daniel Hogan, each with pain in the head, met Dr. McRas at the corner of Queen and Dorchester street. Flynn, en aceosting the M. D., asked him fer ‘‘a note” to get some gin. ‘‘ He was sick ; his iead ached, for want of the ‘ Scott Act.’ ; fhe Dr. drew the prescription with a encil, as follows :—

‘* Spirits fermenti, | qt., fur medicinal use only.” D, McRar, M. D.

Flyan, after premisinga half dollar to the doctor, departed for the Drug Store of Mr. Watson, who is a licensed vendor under the Act, and presented the prescrip- tion to the clerk—Mr. Hunter—who, it is alleged, on reading it said to Flynn: ‘‘ Y u must get a prescription of your own.” Flyun responded to the effect ‘‘ that the prescription presented to Mr. Hunter was his.” His name was then added to it in the presence, it is said, of Dr. McRae, and then three half pints of liquer was given him, with the understanding that he should gst the balance the following day. Flynn left the shop, and rejoining Welsh ‘and Hogan draak the liquor. He after- wards returned to the store and asked for the balance, but the clerk thinking he had enouch fer “ medicinal purposes” for one day, refused to give him more. Next morn- ing he called again and get the balance. That was promptly demolished and a certifi- cate which Welsh purchased for fifty cents feom the Docter was made use of and the quantity named on it obtained from Mr. Hunter by Flyan. It was also drank and we believe Welsh became intoxicated and was arrested. A few hours later Hogan and Fiynn met the Doctor on Long Street, and Hogan obtained from him a prescrip- tion in bis (Hegan’s) own name, as follows : W. R. Warson :—

1 gt. whiskey to Daniel Hogan; to be re- peated for one week,

D. McRas, M. D.

They, after promising to pay the Doctor onthe Friday following, departed to get the liquor. Hogan was detained on the atreet and he gave Flynn the preseription It was duly presented, the liquor was ob- tained, and Flynn, after eluding Hogan, returned to his domicile, drank the pint himself, and left his friend without his medicine.

Welsh, en being arraigned before the Stipendiary Magistrate for drunkenness, made a clean breast of the matter. Flynn was then induced to become the prosesutor in the case, and Mr. Watson was, therefore, su:nmoned. At court to-day, he admitted selling the liquor to Flynn, and preduced Dr. McRae’s prescription as his authority for so doing.

The Magistrate, after hearing argument from both eounsel, adjourned the case until Monday, when further evidence in the mat- ter will be taken.

Mr. P. G. Fraser was also summoned on a similar charge. The same counsel ap- peared for prosecution and defence. The facts gathered from the evidence are: On Tuesday last Donald McDonald, St. Peter’s Read, entered Mr. Fraser’s store, and asked him for some liquer. Mr. fraser sold him a pint bottle of ‘‘liquer,” mixed with

barks. McDonald, on leaving the stere, met James MeNeill, to whom he gave part of ‘the stuff.”

McNeill got drunk an was arrested by the police. On being arraigned he informed tho ceurt that he got the liquer from McDonald, who infogmed the court that he bought it from Mr. Fraser. Mr. Fraser Was summoned, and at Court to-day stated that he sold ‘‘the stuff” as medicine. McDonald denied it, and said he asked Mr. Fraser for liquor and got “the atuff.” On Wednesday last the Court sent John Barke for a bottle of the same medi- cine. He obtained it from Mr. Fraser, and paid therefor forty cents. This was analyzed by Dr. Leeming, who testified it contained thirty per cent. of aleohul. Mr. Fraser's counsel stated that he would bring evidence to prove thal ‘‘the medicine” sold by Mr. Fraser was not spirituous liquor ; and in erder that he might be enabled to do so, the case was adjourned until Monday.

Irish Agriculture Improving.

___—_

Statistics recently published stow that, in the principal Lrish crops, there is an in- crease in the area under cultivation. The land under wheat has increased from 148, 708 acres to 154,000; in oats, from 1,381,.- 928 acres to 1,392,365; in potatoes, from $20,651 to 854,294. The area in root crops is 345,097 acres, against 344,210 last year. The area in flax has fallen off from 157,540 to 147,085 acres. This is the only crop which stows any considerable falling off, and the decrease is due to the fact that linen is going out of use all the world over. Iu all, the area under tilled crops in Ire- land hasinereased frem 3,171,259 acres to 3,192,959—which is a vastly better showing than EKogland or Scotland could make. | Even the meadow land in Ireland has in- lereased in area from 1,909,825 to 1,998,402 aeres. Consequently the acreage ef land under crops has increased from | 5,081,084 to 5,191,361 aeres. Each of the | four provinces participate in the increase, Leinster to the extent of 36,004 acres ; Munster, 27,304 acres; Ulster, 35.210 acres ; Jand Connaught, 11,659 acres. In cattle and pigs also, the possessions of Irish farmers have greatly increased. The cattle number 3,954,479, and increase of 32,962 ; the pigs 1,088,041, an increase of 237,772 ;

The ‘‘emperance Meeting.

Tux Public Meeting under the auspices ef the Grand Division, 5. of T., heid in Market Hall last evening, was a grand sue- cess,the hall was well filled, and the best of order prevailed from the beginning te the end. The new G. W. Patriarch, G. W. Bentley, Esq., M. P. P., occupied the chair. The band of the 82nd Battalion opened the meeting with a beautiful selec- tions, and at intervals enlivened the pro ceedings with inspiriting airs. The chair- man ina few remarks, apologized for the absence of Dr. FitzGerald, who was un avoidably detained at Pictou, and alse for the Rev. G.W. Hodgson, whe was prevent- ed from being present. He then called respectively on R. M. Barrat, David Rogers R. W. Brecken, Rev. Father McGillivray, KF. W. Hales, President ef Dominion Alliance, Rev. Dr. Murray, and G. W. Millner, each ef whom spoke effecti.ely aud well, The address of Father Mc- Gilliveay, particularly, was one of the beat we have heard for many aday. His com- parisons of the drunkard with the lower animals was most striking and truthful. The theory that the present Scott Act injures trade he completely exploded to the satisfaction of his many hearers.

Away up in the World. James Ferguson, of 55 Alexander street, Albany, N. Y., is the man who climbs steeples to paint and repair them, and has frequently been watched by hundreds of people as he pursued his hazardous calling. Many persons, therefore, will read with in- terest the following statement which he made recently toa T'roy Times reporter :—

‘‘T’ve spent the greater part of my life up among those rolling cloud. For eight. een years I sailed the sea between the East Indies and China before the mast, and afterwards occupied every station excepting that of captain. When I was sixteen years of age I climbed a steeple in Gilasgew 300 feet high in half an hour. The same feat is took the noted Scotchman, ‘ Steeple Jack, three days to perform. I’ve been mounting steeples for the past seven years asa business. The last one [ went up previous te this was the Chapel street Pres byterian, in Albany, which is 300 feet in height. I took dewm the weather vane ip the shape of a fish, which weighs 327 pounds, being of copper and loaded with lead. It was the frst time any one had been up the steeple in thirty years.

The highest steeple [ ever climbed weut up 379 feet; this was in Ayrshire, Scotland. The general impression is that when ones steeple it is easier to look up than down This is alla mistake. When loeking up, an almost irresistable feeling comes over you to jump from your seat ‘I had exper- ience of this kind while on the steeple of Dr. Darling’s church in Albany. I gazed steadily up for a moment into space, when, without feeling any dizziness or anything ofthat sort, 1 became almost beside my- self and a kind of delirium came over me. | had to quit right then and there, fora moment laier I. would have sprung from my seat. I can look steadily dewn and it does net affeet me.

I seldom climb steeples in cold weather. It’s too confounded dangerous, the sides being icy and slippery. I was up on a Hudson steeple last January, and then vowed I'd leave off climbing in winter, as I nearly fell. They tell me this here steeple shakes when the wind blows. Do you know it’s all the better for that? It gives the iron rods in the inside play. Look out for those taut and apparently solid steeples. They go sometimes with a sudden crash. And besides, I enjoy the ride on a awaying steeple.

The people appear like mites, while the sky bears the same aspect as from the street. 1 never remember having felt dizzy when on a steeple; I feel as much at home up there where God’s handiwork can be viewed in all its beauty as on the ground. I've got to, in fact, for if I did not, you'd never catch me hundreds of feet from good walking. That arrow on the spire of the church I took down, gilded and replaced. It is ten feet in length and weighs all_of two hundred pounds. When putting it back, I held it in position with one hand and tightened the bolt with the other—no easy task I tell you. A man at this busi- ness can earn from $7 to $10 aday. As to the manner in which I ascend, that must remain a secret. I never allow an outsider to handle or examine my ropes. I attend strictly to business when up on high, and if I saweven my wifeon the sidewalk, I would refuso to recognize her. I just glory in being up as high as ever I can get. It’s my home up there, and I think if [I go

below when I die, it will be a terrible piece of bad judgment on somebody's part—pro- bably my own.”

Immigration Prospects.

At the London office a large number of en- quiries are received daily in regard to emi- gration; and many men of means have started this year from England and Scot- land for the North-West, and the emig?a- gnerally has been composed of a very good class of settlers.

Ottawa News.

(Frem the Halifax Herald, Oct. 27)

A cable to the ‘ Globe” says Amor De- Cosmos has eeoucluded his mission to the Privy Council on behalf of British Columbia und that his mission will be productive of material benuetit to the Province.

Mr. Pew, Vice President ef the South Western Railway, who is at present in the city, states that nearly 57 miles of tne road are now graded, and the work is being pro- ceeded with at the rate of about three miles a day, some 400 men being employed at it. It is expected that ey Christmas the rails will have been laid from, Winnipeg to Carman city, about 22 miles from Nelson- rille, and that before the first of the year trains will be running regularly between these two points. Teamsters in the employ of the company are being paid $40 a month and found, and laborers are paid $2.60 a day and feund.

A prominent merchant says the Ontario Bank difficulties arose years ago by charg ing toe many lumbermen’s accounts, which have turned out unprofitable. Sir W. P. Howland teok the Presidency to try tosave his own and other heavy interests. The report of the year’s business is said to be correct, theugh net applicable to the past business of the bank. The defence of the directors will likely be based on this ground, the dividends having been paid out of last year’s profits.

Personal. THE Queen has just been buying several lorge farms in Wiltabire. Bisnor WILky tells the Methodist clergy ef Cincinnati that they must not kiss women promiscuously, ‘‘forjit is a dangerous busi- nessi,”’

Mr. Jonx WALTER, proprietor of the Lon- don TJ'imes, is described by the Chicago paper of the same name as a gentieman 63 years of age, of remarkable physical activity, se much so that he appears at least 10 years younver, and is possessed of ripe mental vigour. The front of bis face is shaved elean, but a white side beard extends down ander the chin after the Peter Cooper style. He is belew the ce lium height, is rather slimly built, dresses p-ainly, wears alight felt hat, is very unpre- tentitous and unassuming in his manner, and would be taken by almest everyone for an English farmer. He speaks in a quiet tone of voice, is extremely urbane in his address, aud delivers his sentences with a conciseness which shows much previous reflection,

PRECAUTIONS are now taken at the English Court that there shall be no mistake when a man is to be krighted ; as on one oecasion, during the reiga of William IV., two indi- viduals ‘‘received the honour’ without authority. They attended a levee, and handed in the usual cards on entering the presence ehamber, with ‘‘to receive the honour of knishthood” below the names. It was taken for granted that all was correct, so they were dewn on their knees and up aysin in a trics, and it was net until the evening that it ecur- red te the Lord Chamberlain to send inquir- ies to the Hone Office respecting the two new knights. Whereapon it turned ont that the whole thing was a hoax, but one of serious impertance, inasmuch as the jokers having once been knighted could not be unknighted. Since this episode a new knight has to be vouched fer, both from St. James’ and from Whitehall.

Men often have their hands full, are over erowded with busiaess and drive hurriedly along at it, but they may not be overworked. We cannet tell when we are overworked. A man does not know himself, ne more than he knows the strain en the main spring of his watch that will break it. But there comes a time when it breaks—a click, a suap, and the watch steps. Men break down in this way. They go on, day after day, the pressure bear- ing harder each successive day, until the vital forces give out and the machine stops. Itisa great pity that the indications of thie state of things cannot be sesn beforehand, and if seen regarded. It is one of the last things that men will admit to themselves, much less to ethers. They flatter themselves that it is only a little weariness of the flesh, which will pass off with a few hours’ rest, when, in fact, every herve, power and resource are exhavst- ed, and the system is driven to work by sheer force of will. When the eil on the shaft er in the oil box is exhausted, every revolution of the wheel wears on the revolving part, and soon will rain it. The same is true of the human body.
