EY VICH DITOMNULIL NAN GRD,

Scene —TZhe Land Cemniiasioners’ Courl, Char- lottetown, A. D. 1860.

Fierce to the charge great Thomson led the throng ;

The Tenants, following, rushed with shouts along,

Nor less resolved, the fearless Landlord Band

Well armed in Truth, in steady circle stand.

The tirst attack the Landlords scarce sustain ;

Repulsed, they yield; and Thomson kills the slain (Leases),

Then fierce they rally, to revenge led on

By the swift rage of Sam Slick’s noble son.

(Robert, to old Sam Slick the second nama,

in graceful figure first, aud next in fame.)

With Trauth’s own force the squatter ranks he tore;

So throuzh the thicket bursts the mountain B a;r,

And rudely scatters, for a distance round,

Each startled Lawyer and each baying Hound. :

Hemmed round with hostile foes, the Land. lord’s stood,

A brazen bulwark in a cause right good,

Sam Slick surveys them with imcessant care,

And ia an orb contracts the crowded war ;

Close ia their ranks commands te fight or fall,

And stands the ‘CENTRE and the SOUL of all, ‘*Landlords! (he eries, and every rank

alarms)

Join battle, man to man, and arms te arms !

"Tis not in me, tho’ favored by the sky,

To fight alone, and make the squatters fly ;

No great Q. C. such Hornets can engage,

Not great McLeod,nor Palmer's greater rage ;

But whatsoe’er your Counsel can inspire,

Whate'er of active force, or acting fire ;

Whate’er my head can plan, my voice obey,

All, all Sam Slick, my friends! is yours to day,

Tis inine to combat impudence and lies, )

To drive the lawless squatters from their styes ! \

And make ‘ the snatchera’ open wide their | eyes . }

A ehrystal goblet ot champagne stoed near,

The Here's fainting energies to cheer.

So high his silvery” voite the Hero reared,

Thomson shut up, and all the squatters feared,

Thrice ia the Court Sam Slick his voice up- raised,

And thrice they fled, confounded and amazed;

While, shaelded from the darts, the Land- lord’s gait

The long-eentended carcase of (Leases. }

Great Thomson had a greater (proncunced Aong.)

Without whose help his case had all gone Wrong ;

An aged nan, attired in filthy vest,

For studied exhibition fitly drest ;

And redolent, —but not of ‘‘ Araby the ( blest!”

A dirty dishelont careful hands had bound

Around his head,so he was robed and crowned !

The Sheriff brought this man in this con- dition,

From out the jail, for special exhibition ;

He form: the key-note of the roar and screech

Waich mostly go with a forensic speech.

A certain Highland Landlord, sitting present,

Was roare:| and screeched at,—scarcely felt it picasant

To be debarred from entering on the lists

With sword and targe, er, England’s wea- pon, fists !

But sat. (as Edward plump ;) s

Now, in conclusion, please to let me take

An extract from ‘“ The Lady of the Lake +”

“Ours is no sapling, chance sown by the Fountain,

Blooming at Baal-tein, in.winter to fade ;

When the whirlwind has stripped every leaf

from the meuntain, The more shall the Stewarts exult in her

Firmer they root them the ruder it blow, Loud shall Strath Gartney’s glen ting round Loch Catrine then,

The Kansas State Board of Architecture is proclaiming to the world that a new cereal has been discovered or developed fitted to flourish on the great American desert without irrigation. It is called ‘‘rice corn,” or ‘‘Egyptian corn,” and is sinaller than the common wheat grain. It is fit for food in which wheat er rice can be used, and is said to be almost as nutritious as wheat. The stalks will serve as well as fodder or fuel. It is said to have been tested with success on very arid svils, and to have yielded atjthe rate ef sixty bushels to the acre, each bushel weighing sixty pounds. Finally, it despises the army worm and defies the locust. The seed is thought to have been breught by the Men- nonites from Russia.

le Editor of the Exaniiner. San,—I see that the Judges of the Su- preme Court of Canada have decided that the ‘‘ Canada Temperance Act, 1878,” is s ulie ’ iver, question was in abeyange and many peoplelexpected that the Cecision would » otherwise, the movement to bring the Act f did not, and ceuld net hare

into force,

ei ae vy hile this '

cess. Still, several counties throughout the Dominion, including two of our three, have passed it, despite the strenuous efforts of rumsellers and rammies to the contrary.

But now that the bright prospect, in the near future, of a sober country is presented te us by this decision, it is to be hoped that the spirit of action will be moved in all the temperance—that no pains nor expense will be spared to bring this Act inte force, and when it is brought into force te enforce it.

No doubt we will be opposed in this charitable work by those pests of society, the rumsellers, and by a few of their vie- tims who are so lost to a sense of manhood in the beastly vice to which they are ad- dicted, as to rivet closer the chains. which bind them. But let us, advocates of tem- perance, unite, and having the right cause to contend for we will surely obtain a de- cisive victory ever these demoralized fol- Bacchus.

i prepese that the committee appointed for this purpose-——-whwo are, we knew, men of energy and sterling worth—take up this subject and see that the Act which has al- ready passed in the city be enforced accerd- ing to law as soon as possible, and also that they bring on the election in Queen’s County 43 soon as pessible, for while the Act remains nnefforced in the Royalty it is of little avail in town.

By giving this a place in the columns of your popular journal, Mr. Editor, you will greatly oblige, yours truly.

TEMPERANCE. Ch’towr, April 19, 80. . ekwssisdikamtiilakesuiilia T'o the Editor of the Hxaminer. Dear <in,—I notice in your issue ef the

iSth the speech of the Hon. Simon Bolger, on the Orange Incorporation Bull. The speech is, indecd, avery slim affair, Taking into consideration the fact that Mr, Beiger repre- sents a Catholic constituency, and wiShing to

e

inake himself popular, | am not surprised at

épeech being ‘ published by request.” ‘There are one or two assertions in his speech which IL cannot allow te go uncontradicted, as seme people who are not acquainted with the facts of the case might believe them to be true. Noy. Bolger. says that the Prince of Wales refused land in Canada where the Orangemen were assembled to welcome him. Mr. Bolger must be very ignorant of the case, or else he is trying, after the style of Patrick Raymond, to throw dust in the eyes of” the people. ‘The facts of the case are these :~ Some years ago the Prince of Wales visited He was accompanied by Newcastle, \e appears attached to a memorable which appeared some time ago in the would-be Jrish World—the celebrated New Ere. Tn. Kingston, Ont., the Corpora- tion invited all Societies to join in the proces- sion, welcoming to their shore their futuae King. A vlace was assigned in the said pro cession for the Orangemen, who, one of the leading papers remarked, were the bene and sinew of oxr country. A night or two befere the Prince arrived, a few Irish Catholics, of the stamp of Mr. Bolger ard P. R. Bowers, held a meeting, at which they passed resolu- tions, asking the Corporation of Kingston to net allow the Orangemen to take part in the procession. The Corporation were indignant at the idea, and of course took neo further notice of it. But the followers of O’Uonnel! were not to be so easily foiled, and knowing that Newcastle was a bigoted Catholic, they took.advantage ef it, and despatched a copy of the resolution which was passed at their meeting, which they said was passed by an ‘‘immense and enthusiastic” meeting of Irish citizens, although it was well known that the meeting «id not contain over fifty persons. ‘The Orangemen, in the meantime, were mak- ing every preparation to give the Sen ef their beloved Queen a hearty and loyal reception. The steamer at last came, and the celebrated Newcastle sent word to the Mayor of Kings- ton that if the Orange arch was not removed aud the Orangemen put aside their colors, he ‘*could not advise the Prince to land.”” The Mayor aud whole Corporation were indignant, and sent werd back to Newcastle to the effect that the Orangemen would maintain their rights as becoming British subjects, New- eastle again replied, intorming them that they must concede to his wishes before a certain hour ; but the 100,00u loyal Orangemen stood their ground. ‘They felt the insult that had been given them by the adviser of the young Prince. ‘fhe Corporation met and passed a vote, none but the Catholic members voting against it, condemning the acts of Newcastle, a copy of which they sent to Newcastle, on receipt of which the steamer sailed. The Orangemen had_ their procession, and as they marched through the streets they were cheer ed to the very echo by the admiring populace. Shortly afterwards John Hillyard Cameron was sent by the Orangemen as a delegate te the Queen, with a memeriam and, in spite of the efforts of Newcastle, obtained an audience to, Her Majesty, who was gracious to receive the | same. As Newcastle has gone to the land! frem whence no traveller returns, I will say | nothing about him.

The attempt of Mr. Bolger to try and sad- | dle the Prinve of Wales with the bad judg-) ment of Newcastle, is indeed small. He ex-/ pects, like his friend of the New Mra, to make | a fine point out of this question. Perhaps) sO.

? . i “1 altogether unjust and unfuir that the

oC untry teachers sheuld he compelled to itical interests within the pai ty. teach every 2nd, 4th and Sth Saturday each |

month, while the city teachers have every Saturday a holiday. {[ am positive that it injures the ends ef education to have the schovul open on Saturday. Having examined several registers, [I find that the average drops eff, at least 25 per cent., on Saturday, and en this account, in many districts, the half-yearly average falls below the requisite percentage, and then the teacher is gsent back to the district te trouble us with a new assessment, whereas, if no school was kept on Saturday, the average would be kept up. It is reasonable for parents, in the country, to keep their children on the last day of the week, for on. that day, as 1b is notin tewn, there is always semething for them todo. Ithink it would be nearer perfec- tion to reverse the rule, i.¢., the city teach- ers to be compelled te teach every Saturday, forthe pupils have nothing else to do but attend.

Again, I think it - relic of barbarism to foree youny children to sit coeped up in a school in the saltry days of summer from 9 oclock until4; and the rule, you see, is very absurd, for,in the summer months, those whe would be benefitted by the long hours, i.¢., the more advanced pupils, are at home attending to farm work, while the school is compesed of the smailer ones, to whem the long hours are very Weariseme, and has a tendency to make the pupils very inattentive.

i have been very much interested in edu- cation evor since I was a boy, and I always remarked that a child will learn more in an active half hour’s work, then by an hour's poring over a lesson. Again, that long heurs are injurious to the health of the pupils, for, in most ee@untry_ schools, the seats are of the old-faBhioned stamp, i.e., without backs on them, and this will ac-

A Town Destroyed in Missouri.

75 PERSONS KILLED, 200 wounDEn.

Terrib!e news comes from the little town of Marshfield, Webster County, Mo,, situ- ated on the line of the Atlantic and Pacific Railway. The place is 218 miles from St. Louis, Mo., and the population between 800 and 900. On the 19th amst., a fright- ful cyclone swept over the town, and in the midst of it, a fire broke ont. The place is reported to have been completely des- troyed. Seventy-five persons are reperted killed, and 200 wounded. Later telegrams are loeked! for with the greatest anxiety, but the wires are dewn in all directions, and it is almost impossible to get anything through. A passenger who passed through Marshifieid, at 8.30 on the 19th, learned from a man who came to the depot at Edgetown, while the train was there, that at 6.30 a furious hurricane struck the place and levelled ali-that part of the town, lying west of Centre square flat to the ground. Ruins ef buildings immediately took fire in several places, and flames could be seen at some half dozen points, by passengers on the train. Forty dead bodies had already been taken eut and more were supposed to be buried in the ruins or burned up. There were also many living still imprisoned in the debris of falling buildings. All physi- cians of town were killed except two. There was great want of doctors to attend the wounded, ef whom it was said there were 200. Relief train, with 20 physicians, and nurses, and full supplies left Spring- field, Mo., on 19th, for Marshfield. The storm was generally in South Western Mis- souri, and other places have suffered dam- age, but as telegraph wires are all prostrat- ed, ne advices have been received. Violent hail and rain, accompanied the cyclone. The “Times” on the British Poli-

tical Outlook.

The Times says: ‘‘Political interest is alréady transferred from the present and the past to the future. The question of the moment is no longer whether Lord Beaconsfield’s Government was right ina particular crisis two er three years ago, but how it isto be superseded and by whem. As to the latter point-—that of the persons who will form the new Administration— only one thing can confidently be said. It may safely be alleged that for every place that has to be filled there will be at least three candidates with streng claims. There are the survivers of the Liberal wreck in

The Rev, Jchn Padfield,

NHIS SCHOOL offers, at very moderate

cost. the advantages of a comfortable and

pleasant home together with a thorough and retined education.

The course of Instruction is the same as that of the best Schools in England and is founded upon the University Examinations for Women. Eight young ladies from this School passed the Local Examination of the University of King’s College in June last. This is the only School in Canada that has passed pupils at a University Examination.

The number of pupils is limited, rendering the School select, and while it ses all the educational oo of a large public schoel, each —_ is enavled to receive that individual care anc oversight which is so important, and which cannot be given ina large establish- ment.

Mr. and Mrs. Padfield are assisted by a staff of four resident governesses, besides visit-
