wa We do not hold ourselves responsible for the statements or opinions of our correspondents,
To the Editor of the Examiner : Sir —The people of Prince Edward Island
| Should be particular in the choice of represent-
atives for the House of Commons. They have upon former occasions sent men to the Parlia- ment of the Dominion totally untit to repre- sent them. A man should not be chosen to represent a county or a district on account of the wealth that he possesses or the position that he occupies. The history of every coun- try proves that men of wealth or social stand- ing do not always possess the greatest amount of legislative ability. Very often we find men who are steeped in poverty more capable of governing a country than men who are the owners of millions. Half the misery that comes upon a country through blundering legislation is brought on by incompetent legis- lators. A man, to represent a country well and truly, should be an intellectual man—not a man possessing certain physical qualitica- tions only, but a man possessing the immater- ial principle, cultivated, strengthened and re- fined. Mill, in his great work on Kepresent- ative Government, clearly points out this important fact. That great philosopher and political economist endeavored to bias this constantly before the minds of the people of England. He himself was a living instance of what the richest and most intelligent constitu- ency in the world thought of highly-developed educational endowments. Westminster elected him over the man who could purchase almost the whole of Belgravia.
Benjamin Desraeli isanother example of what the masses of Great Britain think of political greatness. From the moment that his genius appeared above the horizon, he has never been allowed to retire from the service of his country. His countrymen knew that there was in the alembie of his brain a power that could still the tempest at home, and exalt the name of England abroad. Daniel Webster, the pride an glory of the Great Republic, be came the people’s darling, because he possess- ed, in the qualities of mind and _ heart, that gave to the citizens of the United States an as- surancd that their interests were safe in his keeping. When peoople behold great men standing out before them—able and willing to undertake the affairs of State-—they should not be slow to accept them. They should receive, with thankfulness, the offer of such service.
For the _ services of such men should deserve the homage of an enlightened peop'e. Tle man who has_ the
genius to sit in the Councils of his country and advance her prosperity, needs not the excite- ment of political life to fill the vacuity of his days. His days have no vacvity. Such aman can retire within himself and* feast upon the luxurious growth of his own cultivated mind. Alas! I am sorry to say, the people of Prince Edward Island do not always send the best men to the Federal Parliament at Ottawa. Witness the five silent imbeciles who, for the last five years, were pointed at derisively as the representatives from the fairest Pro
vince of the Dominion. Let not this occur again. Let our men be men of culture, men of strong understanding, men of decision, clear headed men, men who have ideas, men who are able to give utterance to their thoughts. We want men who have something to. say every time they rise to address the House. We want no more incoherent jabber- ing. I am satisfied with the selection that the people of Queens county have made. Mr. Pope and Mr. Brecken are men who would do honor to any constituency within the Dominion of Canada. Even their opponents cannot deny that they are men of sterling worth and emin- ent political ability.

The Barley Crop all Over.
Messrs. Story & Ward, of New York city, have issued the following circular under the date of the 8th inst. :—
Having made considerable inquiry as to the growing crop of barley within our State, as well as the Province of Ontario, and certain of the Northwestern States, namely, Minnesota, Nebraska, lowa and Wisconsin, together with a portion of Illinois, we take pleasure in stating the result to you as fol- lows:—The acreage sown in New York State is abovt 25 per cent. less than last year, in Ontario about 33 per cent. and in the Northwestern States about 50 per cent. The condition up to the present time is gen- erally reported from all sections as ‘‘good” to ‘very good.”

Beaconsfield.
——-
Some British writers have charged the present Premier with bad taste in assuming the title Beaconsfield, which they regard as a kind of plagiarism. This, it will remem- bered, was the titular name of which Edmund Burke aspired, net for his own sake so much as for his son, Richard. It was the affectionate wish of both parents that this young man, who was a barrister, should outshine his father in ability, and inherit, while he added to his reputation. For the sake of advancing him in political life the elder Burke vacated his seat at Malton, in July, 1795. But before the close of that month, the object of so much affection and of so many proud hopes was carried off by consumption, his parents to the last almost refusing to believe in his danger. As Richard, then thirty years old, lay dying, he heard Mr. and Mrs. Burke giving expression to the fears which they could no longer hide from each other, and wishing to comfort and reassure them, he rose and dressed himself. But the effort
was fatal, and he soon after died, with his, lerawled to the cottage of lrich Gertsch near the Abuss Alp, where he received food
head resting on his mother’s lap. From that time till his death three years later, Burke thought no more of Beaconsfield or any other title.

Stagnation in England.
The Londen Times makes the explicit statement that nothing except the large ac- cumulated wealth of the conntry, and the great strength of its credit institutions, have saved England from the most seriovs pecuniary disasters. A full import of food evidences the ability of the laborer to earn a comfortable living; the import of raw ma- terial indicates, when business is in a healthy state, employment for eapital and labor at remunerative prices, the progress of the country, that is, in production and wealth. As an evidence of the abnormal state of trade, the import of cotton has in- creased at a time when the home warehouses and the foreign markets were glutted with goods. The Times is not sanguine as to any immediate improvement.

Miscellaneous.
Sir John Coote, of London, is at Que- bee.
Mr. Beecher surprised his congregation last Sunday morning by reading his sermon from manuscript.
Mr. Cunistopner Tyner, editor of the Hamilton Times, and one of the ablest writers in the interests of the Government, is dead.
Anna Ulke, in her day the favorite Therese of the Viennese cafes, died not long ago in the completest indigence, not leav- ing even a change of rags.
Mr. Charles E. Stowe, the son of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, has just been licensed to preach by the American Con- gregational Association. He is said to be clever, is a graudate of Harvard, and has studied at Bonn,
The all-powerful favorite of the Sultan just now is his chief coffee-bearer, who made his fortune at Court by bearing a message Of dismissal to Mehmed Ruchdi, when the more honest aides shrank from the task with loathing.
Bob Ingersoll cleared more money last season for the number of lectures he de- livered than any other man on the lecture platform. Each lecture paid him, on an average, $200—his regular pay being $250 per lecture.
THE Moncton Times remarks that the same journals which defended Mr. Mowatt’s descent from the Bench to engage in On- tario politics, are now abusing Mr, Tilley for re-entering public life after his term of office has expired.
An English clergyman, the Rev. J. G, Sydenham, of Collumpton, has been fined £1 for cruelty to agame cock. Collumpton and Tiverton were for many years notoriovs for cock fighting, and a t number. of persons in the vicinity still keep up the old strains.
Mr. Wilbur F. Story, proprietor of the Chicago Times, has, according to a private letter from the continent, received a severe paralytic shock while travelling in Switzer. land. He is now in Paris, and though he finds it difficult to use his lower limbs, is likely to recover fair health.
Apvices from the West Coast of Africa state that the King of Dahomey has re- fused to pay the balance of the fine of 200 puncheons of palm oil imposed on him b the British Government. He had accord- ingly been informed that the bombardment of Whydah would be resumed. It was ex- pected, however, that the fine would be paid by the French traders of Whydah.
In France the reactionary party appears to meet with very poor success in popular elections. Twenty-two supplementary elec- tions held on Sunday, as is the custom in France, resulted in the return of seventeen Republicans and three Monarchists, with, in two cases no choice. How the French people will vote, when they are allowed to vote as they please, has now been pretty well demonstrated.
Right Hon. Sir Henry Conyngham Mon‘. gomery died on the 26th ult., at the age of 75. He was educated at Eton and at Haile- bury, served in India in many distinguished positions, and was ultimately Secretary to the Government of Madras and a member of Council. On his return from India he was appointed one of the Indian Couneil, and in this position served for eighteen years. On his retirement he was made a member of the Privy Council.
Charles Roberts, alias Chambers, alias Daniel, alias Palmer, a clever English pick- pocket, has been taken by the French police and sent up for a six years’ term. He would not allow his photograph to be taken defeating the operators by grimaces and facial contortions, giving as his reason that he did not want his portrait to be seen in England and to have his old associates stili at liberty, and the officers he had eluded say, ‘‘ There’s that fool Roberts who got captured by a frog-eating Frenchman.”
A letter from Geneve poten oo -w a Thompson, an Englishman, left t Glawbier Hotel, Grindelwald, on the 10th of June, intending to ascend the Faulhorn without a guide. Taking the path over the Holzmatzten and a giddy, lhe got into such a position in the Kniebreche that he dared neither advance nor retreat. Here he remained five days and six nights, sub- sisting on such roots and herbs as he could gather. At last, growing desperate, he contrived to slide down the mountain on his back, and late on the _— of the 15th
and shelter, and was next day conducted to Grindelwald.
