entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters. a

Dr. MELVIN’S CarsicUM Porots PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect.of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered, Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MrLvin’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescrib them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. Mevvry’s Capsicum Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Ithough powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your draggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPst- cum Porowus PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Can

In connection with tbe Reading Room was also organized, and for many years conducted, the Charlottetown Debating Club—the weekly meetings of which were held, during the winter rmduths, in the Reading Room, This arrangement afforded young men fuacilities for exercising their talents as debaters, and public speakers. A re-union, of a kindred character, for the benetit of young men, is again coutem- plated ; and, in all probability, will, at no distant day, be consummated. The decisions of the Reading Room Debating Club, on im- portant questions, were, in those days, re- garded with deep interest. Governments were frequently forced to acknowledge the powerful influence which this Club exerted in the community. Many of the young men who then took part in the debates of that Institution have attained high positions in Society. They are to-day first among their compeers in Parliament; at the Bar; on the Bench; in the Pulpit; aud one of them oc- cupies the Gubernatorial chair of one of the new Provinces of this vast ‘Canada of ours.”

The privilege of the Charlottetown Reading

, Room are always extended, free of charge, to

the members of both branches of the Legisla- ture, the clergy of all denominations, editors and publishers of newspapers, strangers intro. duced by members of the room, and gentlemen from the country.

Government and Opposition, at home and abroad, are fairly and wapartially represented, the leading political ;papers on both sides being on our files.

The Room is couducted on purely secular principles.

Barque Lizzie Cameron, Alexander Cameron master, sailed from this port on Sunday morn- ing last, January 13th, tor Queenstown, with 28,685 bushels of oats and 522 pieces deals, shipped by the owners, Messrs. James Duncan & Co. and Capt. Cameron, of steamer J’rincess ot Wales. This vessel loaded the entire cargo in less than four days, and was only one week in port.

Brigt. Curmenta, Captain Scott, sailed yes-

| terday, the 16th inst., also for Queenstown,

with 15,993 bushels cats, and 222 pieces of deals, shipped by the owner, Angus McMillan, Esq-, of Summerside.

Brigt. Fortune, owned by Messrs. James Dunean & Co., is also loading oats, and will tinish her cargo to-day, completing the export of 100,000 bushels of oats from this port since the Ist instant, and the extraordinary despatch which all those vessels have had, and the faci- lities offered for loading, combined with the advantayes afforded by our unrivalled harbor, completely free of ice, in mid winter will, no doubt, be made a note of by exporters in other parts of the Island. Mr. Robertson and Mr. /McMillan are down here looking after their

' vessels and speak in high terms of the facili-

' ties to which we have referred.

The Carmenta loaded on Monday last 12,8 bushels of oats in 10 hours, or 1,280 bushels per hour, which we believe has never been | equalied in this Island, add altogether casts in the shade the steam elevator which we sce noticed in the Halifax Recorder as having moved 1,000 bushels an hour. | The obliging Superintendent of the P. E. Island Railway, William McKechnie, Eagq.,

esta iw $2.50 contributed in no small degree to the success

of the operations, which must be gratifying to

1.25 the ship owners, by running extra trains to

carry the oats from the different stations along the line. Mr. E. T. Wickwire, Station Mas- ter here, also receives unstinted praise from these men for lending all the assistance is his power.—A. C. Advurtisar.

A New Climate for Canada.

[From the Baltimore American.]

Captain Graham, of the steamship ‘‘ Mo- ravian,” of the Allan line,who is now in Balti- more, has caused quite a sensation throughout Lower Canada with his proposition to close the Straits of Bolle Isle, which is also ‘attracting much attention in England, His idea is that, by building « breakwater across the straits the imnieuse flaw of Northern water which’ fiow passes through them rushing into the Gul of St. Lawrence will be carried direct to the At. lantic. ‘This water during the early spring months is laden with icebergs,’ and has the same eifect on the climate of Canada, as well 2s of Mame and most of our Eastern States, that the Galf Stream has upon the climate of the Gulf States. The theory of Captain Gia. ham is that if this cold current and the annual iucursion of icebergs were diverted from the Gulf of St, Lawrence the surrounding tempera- ture would be materially raised, the chilly cold of Arctic floods would no more be feli along the shores of Quebec, vegetation would take the place of sterility, and a vast tract of land now lying idle and uncultivated, owing to the adverse influences of climate, would be made amendable to the plow and prove a great source of wealth to the country. Moreover, the absence of the present current, which now sweeps into the Gulf and up the St. Lawrence, would permit of a greater influx from the south of the warming influence of the Gulf Stream, which at certain seasons of the year, by the action of the trade winds, is forced into the Gulf of St, Lawrence, the result being that on the neighboring shores,as in Prince Edward Island, the temperature is high and vegetation iiourishes. Not ofity; Captain Graham con- teuds, would we have such results, but there is every reason to believe that the St. Law- rence would remain open all winter, as-al- though there may be seen ice forming about the mouths of fresh water rivers, salt water ice 18 never seen in the Gulf or Straits of Belle Isie until the northern jicld ice is close at hand, when the slab ice begins to form.

Certain it is, that wherever the influence of this Polar stream is not felt throughout Cana. da, or is navigated by the Gulf Stream, ferti- lity abounds, as “in* Prince Edward Island, along the south side of the St. Lawrence and on the west coasts of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, whilst wherever the North Seas wash the shores nothing but rocky ground and bar- renness abound. A glance at the map shows that were the Straits blocked up, the Polar current would pursue its south-easterly course until it was lost in the mighty Atlantic, leav- ing not only Labrador and Quebec territory to fructity unmolested by its withering colds, but mayhap the northeast shores of Newfound- land as weil.

High engineering authority has pronounced the work ot blocking the Straits quite feasible and practicable. It will, however, be an im- mense undertaking, as the Straits are eight miles wide, with anaverage depth of thirty fathoms. The material, in the form of tower ing rocks, is on the spot ready to be thrown into the sea, and though the work no doubt looks a {stupendous ong, it is beliéved to be not beyond human skill to complete it. The probable cost may be considered a detriment, but Canada has large resources, and a large expendrture would be more than justifiable, oe at the great result which would flow

rom it.

War or Peace.

A special to the ‘*Times” from St. Peters- burg says a person who helped to draw up the armistice conditions states that they are not iikely to be aecepted by the Turks. The same despatch states that the Russian Minister of the Interior has instructed the press to be moderate in its remarks about Austria and England.

The ‘‘ Times” Pera despatch says: ‘Tt is said that Grand Duke Nicholas, accompanied by his staff and General Igateu, met the ‘Turkish delegates on Friday morning at a station on the Jamboli railway. The Grand Duke had advanced to meet the delegates be. cause of difficulty on the road, and courteously invited them to return by carriage with him.”

The correspondent of the ‘‘ Times ” at Vienna declares that Austria has made no commanica- tion to the Porte concerning the terms of peace since her answer to the Porte’s note of Decem- ber 12th, asking mediation. The present re- port seems founded upon reservations that Austria then made.

The Turkish delegates met Grand Duke Duke Nicholas at ‘lirnova Lemenli, and pre- liminary notes were exchanged. The Grand Duke then announced that he had decided to treat only ai Adrianople, which should be im- mediatelly evacuated. The delegates have as- sented,an orders were telegraphed to Semil Pasha to evacuate Adrianople. Upon this decision being communicated to foreign Consnls at Ad- rianople, they telegraphed to Ambassadors for instructions, and were ordered to remain and protect their countrymen. Djemil Pasha then prepared to retire upon the fortified lines before Adrianople, where reinforcements are now concentrating. Russians will probably arrive at Adrianople in two days, and negoti- ations then begin,

It is generally thought there that the wisest policy is for Turkey to make at once.

The Council of Turkish Ministers on Thurs. day decided to order Turkish Ambassadors at Vienna and London to request explanation of protest against separate peace recently lodged by Austria and England, and to ask how far ‘lurkey may count upon support of those coun- tries.

Reports from St. Petersburg and Berlin

debate on address, though regarded as pacific, have not pleased the Russian Govarnment, and that Lord Salisbury’s declaration that the tide of war was approaching a point at which British interests might be touched, and where it must be stopped if necessary, is regarded as a serious menace coming from such a source.
