On locking over the Public Acceunts for the UVominion, we find that the highly

efficient officers in the Savings Bank are

paid lower _ salaries than those in the same offices in the other Pro- vinces. In the other Provinces there is an Auditor and Assistant Receiver

General reeciving $1,800 a year each. Here we have no, Assistant Receiver (ien- eral ; but the Auditor, although he receives only the same salary, that the Auditer in the other Provinces does, and has a smaller staff, has to perform the duties of Assistant Receiver General. it is the same way with the Clerks in the department. They do more work and receive $300 and $400 less than the Clerks in the same offices in St. John and Halifax. justice ; and we lope that the attention of the Civil Service Commission, now sitting, will be directed to it at the earliest possible day. with which the interest of all creeds and classes of the

It would be an extraor- dinary condition of things indeed if gruimb- lers -and grumbling were unknown. It is thought that some people would be discentented and unhappy in a better world than this. But, while we have afew of this class of persons, we ar. happy to state that the people of this Pro- viuce generally are far from being diseon- tented with their lot. There are, we ver- ture to say, fewer anti-confederates to-day, wong our farmers especially, than at ai y tiiue since we entered the Union. Why should our farmers dislike Confederation ? {fs it not a fact that for over half a century the people of this Island were struggling in vain to throw off the fetters of landlordism ?

The Yellow Fever Patients.

* We have much pleasure in publishing the following letter from the seaman of the brigt. ‘* L. J. Westaway,” respecting their treatment in the Quarantine Hospital at this port. It is always gratifying to us to note that our public eflicers are prompt in the discharge of their duty, and strangers can carry away with them a good acconnt of our public institutions: —

To the Editor of the Examiner. Ste,—We, the undersigned seamen of the brigantine *‘L. J. Westaway,” lately quar- tered in the Quarantine Hospitat and under treatment tor yellow fever, beg through the médium of yonr columus to express our gratitude to the attending physician, Dr, Hobkirk, the Keeper, and the Boatmen, Messrs. Currie and Hughes, for their kind- ness and attention te us during our sickness. Dr. Hobkirk’s visits were frequent, and no pains were spared by him to alleviate our suffering, which resulted in our speedy res- toration to health and strength. The Boat- men were assidious in their attention towards us, and their promptitude to duty’s call in conveying us to the Eespital’ was highly ereditable to them—especially as the disease is considered contagious. Altogether the arrangements have been highly satisfactory to us; and all concerned may rest assured that wherever our future let may be cast, we shallalways cherish a deep sense of gratitude for the humane treatment received at their hands while in the Quarantine Hospital of P. Kk. Island We remain, Sir, yours truly,

THE guardians of the marine laws at Quebec have got themselves into trouble over the de- tention and seizuare of an American ship, the ‘*Satalava.”” It was suspected that the ‘‘Satalaya” carried arms, ete., from Mon- treal, and intended going on a fillibustering expedition against the Spaniards and in favor of the Cubans. The suspicion proved to be groundless, and in the Admiralty Court at (Quebec, the other day, judgment was given to the effect that the authorities were res- ponsible for damages.

Tue body of the Rev- Mr. Peaks, who was coming on the ‘‘ Narragansett” to preach in the Christian churches at Fall River and Westerly, R. L., has been found with bad bruises on the head, and $200 in money miss- ing. He was a powerful swimmer, and the body had a life-preserver. It is believed that he was robbed and murdered while in the water.

Fulfiiment of Prophecy.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Dear Sir,—The Alinanac published by our enterprising townsiman, T. L. Chap. pelle, Ksq., for the year 1880, contains, among other valuable and reliable informa- tion, a remarkable prediction by a celebrated Astropomtr, relating to the effects on our planet of the perihelia of Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune. ;

He predicts great fires, appalling acei- dents at sea ; enjoins the adoption by cities of strict sanitary measures, etc., and gives the following warning: ‘* No cooked food should be partaken of, if allowed to be ex- pused to the air for even a quarter of an hour. ° * * Fish and game shoald not be used,” ete., ete.

All are familiar with the disastrous ace: dents at sea, this year :—the loss of the ‘‘ Narragansett,” the injuries to the ‘‘ Cas- pian,” ‘* Arizona,” ‘* Flamingo,” and other ships, the destruction by fire of the City of Hull, Ont., and several cities in the U. 5., also the numerous deaths which have oc- curred from the intense heat.

Sut we have just had in our midst, a re- markable instance of the necessity of paying attention to the warning contained in our quotation. An esteemed citizen and sev- eral of his family have been in imminent danger of death by poisoning from partak- ing of a condiment which has hitherto been considered highly nutritious,

In view of the dire calamities, predicted in the yet unfulfilled portion of the proph- ecy, should not the preventive measures urged by the author be carried into effect.
